Neobiani[edit | edit source]

Neobiani served on a traditional Korean platter.

Neobiani (____) is a traditional Korean dish that consists of thinly sliced, marinated beef. It is a type of bulgogi, which is a popular Korean method of grilling marinated meat. Neobiani is known for its tender texture and rich flavor, often served during special occasions and celebrations.

History[edit | edit source]

Neobiani has its origins in the Joseon Dynasty, where it was considered a royal dish. The name "neobiani" comes from the Korean word "neobi," meaning "wide," referring to the wide, flat slices of beef used in the dish. It was traditionally prepared for royal banquets and has since become a beloved part of Korean culinary tradition.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

The main ingredient in neobiani is beef, typically from the ribeye or sirloin cut, which is known for its tenderness and flavor. The beef is marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, sugar, and black pepper. Additional ingredients may include green onions, ginger, and sesame seeds.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

The preparation of neobiani involves slicing the beef into thin, wide pieces. The slices are then marinated for several hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. After marination, the beef is grilled or pan-fried until it is cooked to the desired level of doneness. The cooking process enhances the natural flavors of the beef and caramelizes the marinade, creating a savory and slightly sweet taste.

Serving[edit | edit source]

Neobiani is typically served as part of a larger meal, accompanied by banchan, which are small side dishes that complement the main course. It is often garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Neobiani can be enjoyed with steamed rice and kimchi, adding to the complexity of flavors in the meal.

Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]

Neobiani holds a special place in Korean culture as a dish that symbolizes hospitality and celebration. It is often prepared for Chuseok (Korean harvest festival) and Seollal (Korean New Year), where families gather to share traditional foods and honor their ancestors.
