Gopchang (Grilled Beef Intestines)

Ingredients

• Beef intestines (1 pound, cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces)
• Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
• Chili powder (1 tablespoon)
• Garlic (4 cloves, minced)
• Onion (1 medium, sliced)
• Green onions (2 stalks, chopped)
• Sesame oil (2 tablespoons)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
• Salt (1 teaspoon)

Instructions

1. Start by thoroughly cleaning the beef intestines. Rinse them under cold water, removing any impurities, and then cut them into bite-sized pieces.
2. In a bowl, season the intestinal pieces with salt and black pepper. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes to enhance the flavor.
3. Heat the sesame oil in a grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned intestines and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they start to brown.
4. Add the minced garlic, sliced onion, and chopped green onions to the pan. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. Pour the soy sauce over the intestines and sprinkle with chili powder. Mix well to ensure the intestines are evenly coated.
6. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the intestines are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.
7. Serve the gopchang hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired. Pair it with steamed rice and a cold glass of soju for the ultimate experience!
