Woosamgyeopsal

Woosamgyeopsal is a Korean cut of beef. Comes from the beef belly, or beef plate. The term means “beef (woo) three (sam) layer (gyeop) meat (sal), a derivate of “samgyeopsal (pork belly).”
At this restaurant, it’s sliced razor thin, lightly marinated in a sweet soy dressing, and grilled. Similar to bulgogi, but simpler, more subtle. While I’m sure that someone somewhere has done something similar, I’ve only encountered the dish here. 13,000 won per 200 grams, not including the marinade.
We order it whenever we’re dining with my father because he prefers beef to pork.
