Korean beef stew
This is an updated version of a recipe originally published on August 9, 2005.
I’ve often been asked, mostly by Filipinos based abroad who intend to vacation in the country, to suggest restaurants where they can take their families. I’ve shied away from making these recommendations because, in many cases, restaurant food is never consistent. While I may enjoy the food in Restaurant X one Sunday in 2008, a year later, after cooks have changed several times, the restaurant menu has changed tremendously and so has the quality of the food.
A bummer, really, but that’s how it is. Chefs and cooks are employees (unless they are also the restaurant owners) and differences arise. Or, sometimes, a better opportunity comes along and the chef or cook moves to another establishment. Those in the inside track follow these sought-after kitchen artists wherever they go while the rest of us have to grumble with the less than satisfying meals in the restaurants they have abandoned.
When I go to a restaurant and I find a dish particularly interesting, I try to deconstruct it. See, if I can deconstruct a dish and learn to prepare it at home, a restaurant can change cooks every other week and I couldn’t care less. It’s a skill I always thank all the kitchen gods for although my daughter Sam is better at it as she can discern even the subtlest flavor and aroma of an herb or spice no matter how small the amount added to a dish.
One such dish is the beef stew from The House of Kimchi. As far as I know, the stew is still is good as it has always been but after we moved to the suburb and found out that the nearest branch was more than an hour’s drive away, I found it better to just prepare the beef stew at home. This is my version.
Ingredients:
1-1/2 kilos of beef short ribs, cut into serving pieces
1 whole garlic
1 whole onion
3 thumb-sized pieces of ginger (wash and scrub, no need to peel)
1 tbsp. of chili powder
1 tbsp. of whole black peppercorns
3-4 siling haba (finger chilis), optional but recommended
2 bay leaves
1/2 c. of dark soy sauce
3/4 to 1 c. of white sugar
salt
12-15 stalks of sibuyas na mura (onion leaves)
1-2 tbsps. of sesame seeds
Place the beef in a cooking pot. Cover with water. Place over high heat and, boil for five to ten minutes or until the meat is no longer red. Throw out the water and rinse the beef to remove all traces of scum.
Rinse out the pot, replace and beef and cover with water once more. Add the whole garlic, onion, ginger, chili powder, finger chilis, if using, and bay leaves. Pour in the soy sauce and stir in the sugar. Simmer gently for two hours or until the meat is very tender.
Halfway through the cooking, taste the broth and add salt. Do not be tempted to add more soy sauce instead of salt; otherwise, the broth will turn too dark.
While the beef simmers, toast the sesame seeds. Place them in a small frying pan and set over medium-low heat. Shake the pan often for even toasting.
Slice the onion leaves finely.
To assemble, place two to three pieces of beef in individual soup bowls. Ladle plenty of broth over them. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced onion leaves. Serve at once.

Hi! Im soooo happy finally i’ve found the recipe for my husband’s most fave dish. Whenever we go to the malls my husband would look for a Korean restaurant just to order beef stew. My kids also love it. Its just a pity that we cant enjoy this dish at home except of course if i order take out.
Thank you sooooo much. Now i can serve this dish and boy, i can only imagine their amazement LOL. I cant wait to try this.
GOD BLESS YOU talagah!
Thanks.
one of the best korean beef stew bsides Kimchi`s is Korean Gardens. If you haven`t heard of this, its in Jupiter St.
LOL Beth, you’re welcome. Hope that you, your hubby and kids like my version of Korean beef stew. It’s really so easy to make.
hi! thanks for the receipe. we enjoyed it very much.
You are most welcome, Norman. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
This recipe rocks! I haven’t had any Korean Beef Stew here in New York quite like how they make it in Manila. Even in Little Korea! I love your site/blog.
thanks a lot i’ve been looking for this recipe for the longest time i’ve asked countless HRM pipz for the recipe but cant get one. anyhow i’l be serving it during our fiesta on May 15 hehehehehe
Hi i live in Virginia for 2 years now….and i really miss filipino fast foods…and one of my fave is the beef stew at a fast food in manila. I was craving for that beef stew really bad so i searched for beef stew recipes online….although i am a cook i cannot perfect that very same beef stew that i wanted…tll i stumbled in your website….i tried to cook it the next day right away! and man!that is goof stuff! taste exactly the same!
maybe you could teach me how to bake hte very same pork barbecue they make in kimchi too =)
I’m glad to know, Gino.
Hope it turns out well, leeds.
happy, i’ll have to visit Kimchi soon. The only dish I remember really is the stew.
thanks for the recipe..I’d been living in london for 5 years now and I always visit “kimchi” in megamall every time I go home..I can’t find it when I went home early this year so I miss my favorite beef stew..I even went to korean restaurant here but the waitress doesn’t know what it is…I even try looking at korean recipe sites but to no avail..nevertheless I’m very happy to have found your recipe..
just wanted to say thanks for the recipe. it was very easy to follow and the results were AMAZING!
for a person like me, who rarely goes to the kitchen and cook… well i really had a blast!
and my husband loved it!
rik, i think there’s still a branch at the glorietta in makati. of course, now you can make the stew at home.
glad to know that, ayda. cooking isn’t hard, right?
please send me a copy of this recipe all the people are raving about!
kindest regards and looking forward to it!

Hi Connie! I sooo like your korean beef stew! My husband really loves it. I tried it the first time and it was fantastic! Thank you for sharing your recipe. I really appreciate it. Oh, by the way my name is same as yours..
well hello there connie.
Hi Connie,
Thanks a lot for the recipes. Korean beef stew is one of my favorite dishes and since coming to Canada I haven’t had it for so long. I also love callos which I frequent at Landmark so it is also one of food that I miss. Not anymore, thanks again for the recipes.
God bless you and your family.
Vangie
Hi Ms. Connie,
I’m so glad I found your website. This is one of my fave dishes in the world and I used to go to to the Landmark food court whenever I’m in Manila. I haven’t had it for almost 7 years. Looking forward to try this wonderful dish out, now that I’ve discovered the joys of cooking. Just one question: I’m not sure what kind of chili peppers I’m supposed to use. Should I use the siling labuyo or would any kind of pepper do?
Thanks for your help,
Queen
labuyo, queen.
Hey Connie… single dad here. love beef stew. this one seems an easy formula I could have my cook make. thanks for sharing
You’re welcome, Single Dad.
Hi Connie,
Korean beef stew is a family favorite. i’ve been trying to duplicate the beef stew found in the malls but cant seem to get it right. can you kindly share the recipe please? we’re having a family get together this weekend and i’d like to cook that for my brothers.
thanks
The recipe is there, issa. Just click the link to page 2.
There is a restaurant in one of the side streets along Makati Avenue that serves this dish but the sauce is a little sweeter and thicker. They serve it with some sort of yam (like our sweet potato). Would you know what it is? Have you tried cooking it with the yam. They also include thin long slices of plain egg omelette.
Thank you for the simple recipe – I will try it tonight.
jo m, morry have no idea with the yam is. maybe, if i try the dish they serve in the restaurant… what’s the restaurant?
how much water do i have to pour in? for beef stew?
“Cover with water” means the beef should be submerged in water.
Connie,
The rest. is called Korean Garden.
I cooked last night – forgot the ginger. It was not the same but I still like it. I will cook again over the weekend – to get it right. Advise to others – be careful with the sugar some may find it too sweet at 3/4 cup.
Thank you again for the recipe.
Hi, thanks for the recipe, I would like to ask about the labuyo, do I have to slice it first or put it in all the way? God bless.
No Missy, you don’t have to.
hi, i got yung timplado nang beef from SM for koren beef… paano iyun, isasalang ko na lang sa kawali? add water na lang ba? hehehe, sowe, sobrang first timer ako!! thanks in advance!
Hi Connie.
I’m so thrilled to have found your blog. I was looking for a Vietnamese beef brisket soup recipe and was thrilled to find a perfect version on your website. I am so inspired to try your recipes, especially this Korean stew.
One question for now: What is ‘onion leaves’ is that green onions or spring onions? I’m not familiar with a Western name for that. Where do you think I might find it in Toronto?
Thanks again!
spring onions, marla. it’s what you see in the photo sprinkled on top of the beef.
Maraming maraming Salamat Po!
Sa wakas, kuhang kuha ang recipe ng “Kimchi” Restaurant sa atin! Gustong gusto ni Misis at kids…
Suggestion: To those mga Diabetic, substitute Splenda Sweetener para mas healthy!!!
Thanks!
Masarap din isahoh… Beef Tendons (litid) at Kamto Meat (Beef Flank…)
uy, litid… yes, ok yun! in some supermarkets, you can buy litid in styrofoam trays.
Thanks so much for the recipe!! I’ve been away from pinas far too long and I’ve been dreaming repeatedly of partaking the Korean Beef Stew at Kimchi the last two years!! Imagine my ordeal! he he Thanks, Connie for the wonderful recipe!! Yum Yum!!
Now you can eat Korean beef stew wherever you are, Van.
hi ms. connie,
thank you very much for sharing your recipe for beef stew. i’ll try it for my husband’s birthday tomorrow. i just wanna know what to do with the ginger. do i have to slice it or have to pound it in a mortar?
thanks for this recipe… kuhang kuha ang lasa ng kimchi… another meal that my kids love and miss sa philippines eh ang spaghetti ala-jollibee… meron ba kayo recipe nun? thanks again
Hi,I hope I can also ask for a copy of the Korean Beef Stew (Kimchi style) This is one of my faves and I want to try it at home..and enjoy it anytime of the day without having to go to the malls. Thanks in advance…looking forward to eating beef stew everyweek:lol:
mariel, the font size of the “go to page…” above is 20px already.
Hi, ms connie,
will it make a difference if i substituted the white sugar with brown? i dont use white sugar at all.
thanks.
I don’t know, brandy. never tried using brown sugar with my korean beef stew.
Hi connie,
Kimchi and korean beef stew are korean dishes that my kids missed so much abroad. This so bec I used to take them to a korean fast food while they were still in elementary. Fortunately i came across your blog while searching for the receipe in so many website.
Thanks so much. And by the way i have book mark your blog and i’ll be regularly visiting your site from now on
No need for fast food now, right, tony?
Hello.. sorry, me again.. I got it now.. “c” stands for cup..:-) But, is there any easy way for me to correctly determine that amount? lets say, how many spoons or milliliters …etc.. or.. how high and big, should my cup be?
thanks a lot for your help.. salamat po..and God bless !!!
roughly:
1 cup = 240 mL = 8 oz = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons.
As you said, the culprit in a bad beef stew is the soysauce. I also know you hate mentioning brands but there really is limited choice and we found that the, if you don’t mind my naming the brand, Coconut brand of dark soysauce will give good results with this recipe – we serve this on our dining table at least once a week and its a hit everytime.
Hi there, like so many others, im happy to find this recipe.. its my husband’s favorite food to order in kimchi.
I want to try this recipe at home but since we use electric stove, im thinking of using a pressure cooker instead of slow-cooking the meat. will there be a noticeable difference in the taste? Thanks
I’m so happy now that I have finally found the recipe for korean beef stew, I have been searching for months since this is my boyfriend’s favorite dish, but unfortunately I couldn’t cook it for him! At first I tried using the instant powdered ones but it tasted like beef “pares”. Some friends even provided authentic korean recipes of this dish for me, but then I couldn’t cook it still since it seemed so hard I couldn’t even pronounce the ingredients! Thank you for providing the recipe!!!
grabe ! excited na ko1 sana magawa ko!
thank you Connie! mhhua!
I’m hoping the whole garlic means the whole head. Seems quite a lot. Meat simmering already, can’t wait
I’ve tried this one…oohhh… superb! I made my husband believed that I’m a good cook.
Thanks!
hi! great recipe! im a new wife and am trying to learn to cook and your korean beef stew was really easy to make but really delicious! thank you so much for sharing this great dish!
really loved this recipe…i followed every step and it was a huge success…my friend’s couldn’t help it and even asked for more…thanks a lot…..
hi! tip for the “maselan sa puso”, place in ref for sometime so sebo may settle on top and may be taken out. there may be a difference in taste also – but lesser sebo inside us and our arteries.=>
Hi, really enjoy your site…about the garlic is that really for a whole head of garlic not just a clove? plus when you say two pieces of ginger, do you mean 2 large slices? thanks…i want to get the recipe right this time because my daughter recently discovered the dish and loves it…
Lyn, a whole head of garlic. Re the ginger, I described the size in the entry — “a large piece of ginger (about the size of two thumbs side by side)”.
hello.
meron ako suggestion sa korean beef stew recipe.
paborito ko kasi to…as in.
so na-duplicate ng misis ko in 2 tries. gusto ko kasi yung kimchi taste.
to replace the garlic and chili peppers, meron nabibiling chili garlic paste ng lee kum kee brand yata, para to sa spicy flavour.
yung sweetness, dahil sa honey and brown sugar.
halos parehas lang lahat ingredients, although wala ng bay leaf at ginger na kasali.
shempre, para authentic kimchi dating, may rice at sauteed bean sprouts sa side.
yun lang.
thanks for the recipe! my husband and i had a blast! i look forward to read more recipes on your blog! you are really good! keep it up coz you are a great help to a lot of people.
more power!
wow, try ko din ito. My children are into “no pork” anymore meal, kasi they get headaches with the feed they give to the hogs here in the States. Pag-punta na lang daw nila ng Pinas sila kakain ng pork, yung alam nila ang feed nito.
Thank you so much for this recipe! Ive been using this for 3 years now and it has become a favorite of my friends and family…always being requested at parties and gatherings..of course I always mention you and this post for the credit…again, good work!
this recipe is awesome! 2yrs ago umuwi kame sa pinas pero hindi kame nakakain nito…. so nung niluto ko ito sobrang saya ng husband ko… feeling daw nya kumakain sya sa sm food court kulang na lang color yellow plate and bowl hehe!
thanks do much!
im new mom..and i need new recipe to stisfied my kids
Hi Connie,
I really love your blog and your recipes. It’s very easy to follow especially for people like me who is just learning to cook. I’m married for 2 years and have a 2 yr old daughter. Good thing my daughter is still small so she still doesn’t complain that I only prepare soup for her as her ulam. But I need to start learning to cook so I can cook her and my husband delicious meals without using ready made mixes or sauces that has lot of MSG. I’m really blessed to have found your blog.
God bless you and your family.
Looks good, can’t wait to try it.

Dear Connie,
I learned how to enjoy Korean foods with the family. I’d like to try cooking Korean Beef stew at home.
Can you send me a recipe?
Thank you.
Vivian
substitute skinless chicken?
hei connie…. guussshhh grabee naubos agad hehe. thanks for the yummy recipe soo easy to cook and we enjoyed it.
Thanks for this recipe, Connie. I’ve always wanted to eat “Kimchi” again, kaso the Kimchi here in Sydney is different. Glad I found your recipe. I’ll try this sometime para feeling ko naman nasa Phils ulit ako…
Hi Connie,
I was madly craving for Korean Beef Stew like the one’s from Kimchi and I am so glad I stumbled at your website in my quest for my favorite ‘real’ stuff. I had tried so many korean restaurants in Sydney but nothing matched the ones I had in Kimchi.
I tried the recipe myself and I could not believe it actually tasted like Kimchi’s! I was bragging my ‘newly found talent’ (thanks to your recipe!) to my mom (who is a great cook, unfortunately she is staying in the phils to my other siblings’ advantage!). I shared the recipe to my officemates in Sydney. Thank you for adding something new to our daily home-cooked meals!. I will be trying out the other recipes (next on my list is the mini leche flan!)
More power to you and to this lovely website!
connie, this dish is my most favorite beef recipe ever! thanks for sharing it to everyone.. I can’t wait to serve it to my boyfriend! we are frequent diners of kimchi and the beef stew is what we order most of the time. Thanks alot!
hi, connie! did you mean 1 whole head of garlic chopped? do i mince or slice the onion?
Caren, No, not chopped. I said, “Add the whole garlic, onion…”
WHOLE. Then, you remove them before serving.
Korean Beef Stew – can u send me the recipe. thanx
This is the first recipe I have ever tried from this site, it seemed easy to make and it is!! I have been looking for a decent korean beef stew recipe and this one was a success! Being a novice at cooking though, I hesitated a bit at boiling point as I pondered whether or not to peel the garlic and onion (I did) or to slice/prick the chilis (I did not) before adding them, but everything turned out well and this recipe has brought a positive note to an otherwise “down-y” day. Thank you.
Will never again have to wonder what goes into Korean stews.
Thank you!
Hi. I’m from NYC. There are a lot of Korean places around here but they don’t make this dish like we have back home and I was dying for this exact dish you have. I found it and tried it. It’s perfect! I’m not much of a cook but you made it sound easy and it was. I can’t wait to cook more and surprise my friends. Thanks for sharing.
Hi there. Just wondering why there’s no rice wine in your recipe – only coz most of the korean beef stew recipes I’ve seen calls for rice wine.
Thanks!
Mishka, smart cooking is about successfully adapting any dish to suit one’s preferences.
hello connie…im gonna try this recipe…and also do you have a recipe of the crab that they cook in dampa?
Hi Connie! I have this on our menu for this week, your recipe looks delicious! I have a query though. Can I cook the beef (together with the garlic, onion & ginger) in a pressure cooker para mas mabilis maluto? Please advise. By the way, I cooked your Arroz ala Cubana last night, IT WAS A HIT! My husband loves it! Thanks so much!
KPR, Yes, you can.
Thank you Connie!
OMG!!!!! this is what exactly I’ve been craving for forever, I swear. I’m gonna try it tomorrow night, hope I could get the same taste as Kimchi’s.
Thanks soooo much.
question ms. connie, i’m going to try this later kasi when I get home. which is better to use here? white or yung purple na onion?
salamat po….
White. Milder and sweeter.
i cooked this recipe before slightly different got the recipe from cook magazine 1996 pa yata. it contains vinegar 1/2 cup to be precise para may tangy taste. it will burn off sa pagluluto pero it adds a subtle flavor. this recipe you have connie is about the same recipe sandy daza posted in cook magazine circa 1996 minus the vinegar of course and the green chili peppers used in sinigang about 4 pieces.
i tried this recipe last night. to be honest, i was scared to, kse i’ve never eaten at kimchi! hehehe!
the beef turned out really yummy. naubos agad! i thought i cooked enough for 2 meals na. nanghinayang tuloy ako kse ang tagal pinakuluan tapos ang bilis maubos hahaha.
and ang saya pala mag toast ng sesame seeds. ;p
speaking of whole garlic, miss connie, pwede ba mag request ng recipe? there’s a place in trinoma called ‘abe’ at the 5th floor, outside at the garden area. they have an adobo lamb dish that we really like… :p
There’s an adobo lamb recipe in my archive. Dunno if it’s similar to what’s you’ve had at Abe. I haven’t been there but I’ll remember the name. When I’m in TriNoMa, it’s almost always La Maison.
I will have to do the dish again so soon after trying it the first time the other day. Lahat sila sa bahay e nagustuhan ‘yong sinabi ko sa kanila na paborito ko sa food court ng mga malls na may KIMCHI. Kanina ‘yong apo ko na 6 e nagsabi luto raw ulit ako bukas.
Thanks for sharing your recipes.
hi connie,
your recipe is soooo good. i’d like to prepare it for some guests. if i cook 2-3 kilos of beef, do i also double/triple all the other ingredients?
Try doubling first for 3 kilos of beef. Add more if needed.
aug 4, 2009
the korean beef stew recipe tastes really authentic kimchi recipe. love it… tastes really good. thank you
Great recipe Ms Connie! About Filipino restaurants that you can recommend to overseas friends, I found this great review of Antonio’s in Tagaytay as well as other places that foodies can go to in the Philippines in the ‘Chubby Hubby’ blog, perhaps you’d like to check it out: http://www.chubbyhubby.net/blog/
I just couldn’t stop eating! it was so GOOD!
Hello Auntie Connie or Ms Connie,
Yehey another new recipe for me to try. I have a question though Can i use baby back ribs instead of short ribs? Also do I just put the whole onione and garlic, no need to peel right? thank you again. Have a good day
So long as its a stewing cut of beef because the success of this dish depends a lot on a long, slow cooking.
yes, stewing beef. thats why its beef STEW.
so dapat di madurog ang karne agad.
Burp. Just finished eating this for dinner. I recycled left-over bulalo to make this Korean beef stew. YUM! Pwede siguro ito sa iyong reader’s gallery…
Uy nabanggit mo ang readers’ gallery. I haven’t posted because I’m putting up a separate gallery where you can post your photos. DIY. Maybe even recipe sharing but not a forum. What do you think?
Sounds good! Abang mode
I think the last time i did this was 2 or 3 years ago. That was around when the Pinoycook forum was still up. Which reminds me i mentioned a recipe which used radishes and apples, was never able to send it to you. Still interested? Though i have to find it where i saved it.
Of course, I am! Although can it wait a bit ’till I can put up what I was telling Iska in the previous comment? Interested in that? Forum format sucks but I found a way where we can share recipes better without using the forum format. Should take a week or so to put it up.
Ok, i’ll look for that recipes.
I think that’s a good idea. DIY requires less effort from you and makes it easier for readers to contribute and share what they’ve picked up from you. As for recipe sharing, with pics? That could be a lot but definitely nice!
With or without pics. I’m doing it today but might need testing. I’ll e-mail you and a few others within the day to test? Please?
Sure, no problem!
It’s up! It’s up! Installing plugins now. Whoa!
Just lemme know what i can do to test it.
12.40 a.m. and I’m installing custom fields in the post page LOL
Somehow i had a feeling you were still up and working on it when i replied…hehe
112 Comments…must try nga ito…
Thank you for posting this, Im cooking this tonight!
UPDATE: cooked the stew for 2.5 hours and the beef was really tender. this recipe is a hit,thanks connie. i let my family taste it before serving for dinner, they found it a bit too sweet so i added more chili powder, a bit of water and salt.
thanks!
Hi Connie,
You make cooking easy peasy. Take it from someone who really doesn’t know how to cook until I stumbled upon your website. This dish has become my husband’s favorite, and like you I tweaked your original recipe by adding chili powder and it makes it much more like the beef stew of kimchi. Thank you.
Mam Connie, the recipe was superb. Though I cannot taste much because I have colds right now. Is this in a way got the same ingredients with beef estofado? I did not include bay leaves when I cooked it, and it tasted like the estofado that my aunt used to cook when I was young. And it occurred to me that Estofado might come from the root word Stew(Esto)-fado.
Thank you very much!
thanks for posting this recipe!i’ll give it a try tonight… btw, do you happen to know the recipe for the pho hoa beef stew noodles?i know you are very good at cracking these secret recipes!? thanks again!
Soon… Soon.
Hi Ms Connie,
When i tasted the dish this morning, its not the same as the beef stew I know from Kimchi and when i googled it, cayenne pepper taste different from chili powder and the two are not the same. I tried to save the dish by making adjustments in the “timpla” of the sauce. It was okay pa rin but I will definitely cook this again next time and will use chili powder na. And this time, it will be perfect 
hahah
Just want to share, I tried this recipe for lunch today. Cooked it overnight using the slow cooker. The beef was cooked to perfection (just the right softness), however i erroneously used cayenne pepper instead of chili powder. I honestly thought the two are the same. Grr!!
Instead of water, I boil my short ribs using sprite. The taste is superb!
Connie, thank you for this recipe. I used red pepper flakes in place of the peppers, and I cooked it in the crock pot until the meat is tender. We love it.
Hi! I’ve been looking for this recipe for sometime. For sure,I’ll partner this with togue
1 1/2K beef would be good to feed three to four people right? I’d like to maximize cooking effort,since its just me and my husband I’ll be cooking for. Ill reserve the rest for another day. Thanks!
I think you forgot “black peppercorns” on your instructions. It’s on the ingredients list.
I eat this dish with a lot of stir fried togue (mung bean sprouts). It’s a real blast. The freshness of togue really blends with the flavors. It also adds texture to the very tender beef. Yum.
I’m having a hard time getting beef short ribs here in Brisbane. Is that the same as beef spareribs? Can I use that Ms. Connie?
Ay, no, not the same. Short ribs are meatier and have a bit more fat than spare ribs.
looks so yummy ms. connie!
can you please feature more korean dishes? i really loooovvveee korean food lalo na kimchi.
pa-share naman po how to make chap chae (korean version ng pancit)!
thanks again!
I tried this too! Kaya lang wala talaga ko mahanap na beef shortribs here in Brisbane
So I settled for a beef spareribs and asked the butcher to cut it in half para bite size. This was really masarap! Natakot ako kala ko sobrang spicy so I took out the chilli early in the simmering stage. Afte two hours tama lang ang lasa. Galing! This again is a keeper 
Thanks for sharing this Ms Connie!
thank you for sharing your recipe. my once non-believer family (as in they cant believe i cook) look to me now as the korean beef stew queen. =-)
hi connie,
thanks a lot for sharing your recipes with us. they are very helpful and inspiring to newbies like me. am a fan of the kimchi beef stew that is why i am happy meron kang recipe nito. may isang tanong lang ako, yung dark soy sauce ba eh toyo natin o yung dark soya sauce like the one na lee kum kee brand? meron kasing dark soya sauce and light soya sauce….help.thanks.
thanks for posting this recipe. i tried it and it’s sooo good! it’s like you can’t go wrong! haha.
i just found out about your site a few days ago and now i can’t stop browsing! i wanna try all your recipes!
Cooking is such a pleasure, isn’t it, especially when you get it right. Have fun.
definitely! thanks again Connie! love your site!
Hi Connie!! My husband stumbled upon your blog and wanted me to make this dish. I did and it came out really, really good. I left out the chililes because my 2 boys are too young to favor spicy food. So we used hot sesame chili oil as a dip for the beef! Sarap!! Thanks!!
wow! I finally found this KIMCHI beef stew recipe! Thanks connie! this is one of my favorite dish. My kids love kimchi fastfood! They like the chicken BBQ but for me its always this beef stew. I tried making it last night, its almost sucessful!… i mean almost sucessful kasi naparami ata yun sugar ko… almost a cup so medyo natatamisan ako at yun short ribs na nabili ko medyo fatty so kailangan ifreeze ko next time para maremove ko yun fats… minsan kasi nakakaumay…. other than that, I like the taste… parang sa KIMCHI talaga…. I’ll be making this again sa saturday for my daughter’s bday… want to surprise my guests on a new recipe!… this time ill cook it sa slow cooker….Thanks again Connie! superb talaga! … more recipes to come!
galing!sobrang simple pero sakto sa lasa!?
Hay, the codes are correct but as viewed on a web page, everything’s screwed. Take 2. LOL
