- Remove beef slices from the marinade and grill quickly on a medium heat, between, 1 to 2 minutes per side to your own liking.
In a typical Japanese or Korean, Yakiniku restaurant, diners normally order prepared raw ingredients (individually or as a set) which are brought to the table.
Kobe beef rib-eye is one of the most popular of these ingredients.
In Malta, you can find Kobe Beef at In House Butchers.
The ingredients chosen are cooked by the diners on a grill built into the table throughout the meal, several pieces at a time. A table top grill or a regular barbecue works just as well though.
The ingredients are then dipped in sauces known as “Tare” before being eaten.
Typically Korean side dishes like “Kimchi”, “Nameul”, and “Bibimbap” are served alongside.
Alternatively serve with a side of rice and tossed salad.
