Notes
- For optimal food safety, ensure the beef is very fresh and high quality, and freeze it for at least 1 hour to partially freeze it before slicing thinly.
- To adjust the spice level, start with less gochujang and add more to taste. You can also use sriracha for a different chili flavor profile.
- Leftover tartare should not be stored; this recipe is best enjoyed immediately after preparation.
