In Korea, it’s currently the Lunar New Year (Gujeong). One dish that is absolutely essential for the holiday table is Jeon (Korean savory pancakes). Among the many varieties, Beef Jeon (Yukjeon) is a favorite because it’s delicious and packed with protein.
In Korea, you can simply walk into any butcher shop and ask for “meat for Yukjeon,” and they will slice the beef to the perfect thickness. However, finding that specific cut can be quite a challenge here in the U.S.
That’s when I came up with a great alternative! I discovered that Shaved Beef, which is commonly found in American grocery stores for making Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, is the perfect substitute. It makes the cooking process so much easier, and the taste is fantastic.
Here is my special recipe for making simple, delicious Beef Jeon using shaved beef.
