Beef Seaweed Soup

Beef Seaweed Soup (Miyeok-guk) is a classic Korean health dish, known for its deep, savory broth and nourishing qualities.

To make it, tender slices of beef are sautéed in fragrant sesame oil to bring out their umami-rich flavor. Generously soaked seaweed is then added and simmered together, creating a rich, ocean-kissed broth that gently fills the air. The bold, savory notes of beef and the soft, silky texture of seaweed come together to offer warmth and comfort from the very first spoonful.

Each bite delivers a gentle burst of umami, perfectly balanced by the seaweed’s tender texture and the chewiness of the beef. Paired with a bowl of warm rice, this dish becomes a heartwarming, comforting meal that feels familiar and satisfying—no matter the time or occasion.

Traditionally served on birthdays, Miyeok-guk is more than just soup; it’s a meaningful dish filled with care and warmth, known to soothe the stomach and replenish energy with every bowl.
