grilled hanger steak

Ingredients

Serves 6

  • 6 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil, plus more for grill
  • 2 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger
  • 3 garlic cloves, grated or finely chopped
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 lbs. hanger steak
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 2 Tbsp. toasted sesame seeds

Method

Preheat grill to medium-high (400° to 450°). Stir together soy sauce, sugar, vegetable oil, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, shallot, salt and pepper in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved. Add steak, and massage marinade into meat. Let steak stand at room temperature 15 minutes to marinate.

Lightly brush hot grill grate with vegetable oil. Place steak on oiled grate, and grill 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare or to desired degree of doneness.

Transfer steak to a cutting board, and let rest 5 minutes. Thinly slice steak against the grain. Sprinkle with sliced scallions and sesame seeds before serving.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageDid you know Koreans prefer to raw fish totally differently than Japan? 🍣🇰🇷

In Korea, it’s called hoe (회, pronounced hwe) — sliced thinner, eaten straight from the ocean, and traditionally dipped in spicy-sweet chojang (gochujang + vinegar) instead of soy sauce+ wasabi. Sometimes even wrapped in lettuce with garlic + perilla for that bold Korean flavor. 🌶️🥬

🇰🇷 Korean Hwe vs. Japanese Sashimi

•⁠ ⁠Texture: Koreans prefer raw fish firm + chewy (served right after it’s caught in the rigor mortis stage). Japanese sushi leans tender + buttery after resting and aging.
•⁠ ⁠Freshness: Hwe is all about immediacy — caught, sliced, and served for that bouncy bite.
•⁠ ⁠Fish: Korea favors lean white fish like fluke (gwang-eo) + sea bream (domi). Japan prizes fatty tuna (toro) + salmon (sake). 
•⁠ ⁠Flavor: More chewing = more flavor release. Koreans prize this sweet, deep taste that develops as you chew. Sashimi melts on the tongue.

This prized chewiness even has its own word: 쫄깃쫄깃 (jjolgit-jjolgit) — that springy bite Koreans love in raw fish, rice cakes (tteok), and noodles (jjolmyeon).

At Seoul’s famous Noryangjin Fish Market, you’ll find it all: delicate flounder, whole grilled mackerel, fiery stews, and even live octopus (sannakji). 🐙

And when fish is served whole, head to tail, it’s more than flavor — it’s a symbol of prosperity and unity, especially at New Year. 🎎✨

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageWelcome back to K-Viral Kitchen — where Korea’s most iconic bites get the @judyjoochef treatment. 

Chungmu Kimbap — a seaside classic with a spicy Seoul revival. 🐙🍚🔥

This minimalist rice roll hails from the fishing town of Chungmu, where it started as a humble lunchbox from a wife to her husband at sea. 

Today, it’s a cult favorite for good reason: no filling in the roll, but all the flavor on the side. 

🍚 Baby rice rolls brushed with sesame oil
 🔥 Spicy-sweet pickled radish salad
 🐙 Marinated squid + tender fish cakes
 🌿 Finished with chives, scallions, and sesame seeds

It’s bold, briny, and balanced — with heart and heat in every bite.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageIt was a pleasure sharing my story with Bella Wu for her project “Out of the Shadows”, which spotlights women forging their own paths.

From engineering, to finance, to reinventing myself through the kitchen, food media, and television — my journey has always come back to joy, authenticity, and embracing both wins and failures. 

Today, success feels quieter: peace, the people I love, and the simple things beyond the spotlight.

And, I’m so proud of Bella — Even while still in high school, she has already founded evermorehues, a sustainable candle company that supports female entrepreneurs. Her creativity and drive at such a young age are truly inspiring.

Thank you Bella and the @outoftheshadows.bw community for sharing my story. 💛

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imagePart of my K-Quick Recipe Series — quick, bold Korean dishes from my newest cookbook!
Savory. Earthy. Umami heaven 🍲🔥

My comfort stew of choice — loaded with tofu, courgette, potatoes, and spicy chilies. Serve it with rice or next to a sizzling BBQ spread.

I make this warming little stew on repeat—it’s a bubbling bowl of comfort that’s as nourishing as it is bold. I always sneak in extra tofu (my fave!), and if you can get your hands on Korean zucchini, do it—they’re sweeter, crunchier, and totally up the game. Trust me, this one’s a hug in a bowl with serious flavor cred.

Comment Umami for the recipe.

Save this for your cozy night rotation 🍲🔥
