You want raw beef son?
-Raw beef. -You want beef son?
Huh?!
Cow walks up to you and bite it in the ass and slap it.
That's not it at all.
Keep it raw!
Now I know you might be thinking that
raw beef is scary and intimidating, and I'm with you before
I actually started having it in Korea, I was petrified.
But since I've had it, I have fallen in love with it.
I've had it like 20 times
One of my favorite types of beef to get,
And I've never gotten sick from it. You have to try raw beef.
It is safe and it is so delicious.
Here it comes~~
Yay~
Awwww yeah~
Ooooohh, that's a really pretty presentation!
Now there are different ways you can be served yughoe
A lot of places will serve it with like
a raw egg yolk on top and it has been tossed in
a sesame oil and soy sauce.
And it might have some pears underneath it. But this place we're at
is pretty swaggidy.
You should get it at like a shop that you are grilling at
and they're just kinda like chopping it up and giving it to you on a white, simple plate
This is like flower petals and shiet.
This is the most swaggity (swaggidy?)-looking yughoe we've ever had.
Some places will serve it to you almost a little bit frozen but this place looks super fresh and amazing.
Awww, why are you getting the first serving?? TT^TT
You get the first serving 'cause I love you the most.
That's why.
It's like essence of beef.
If I could have this bottled into a perfume.
And sprayed in my eyes.
-And I'd scream lovingly -Mmmmmm
The type of raw beef we're eating is actually
"hanooh," which is actually a very specific breed of cow in Korea.
It's kinda like how when we're in Japan we went to Kobe for kobe beef.
That's like a special breed of cow in Japan.
Well, we're having the Korean version of that.
Hanooh is insanely expensive.
So when people say things like,
"Oh you can even cheat that by getting ground beef and mixing it with noodles."
In Korea, that's not a common conversation to have.
Oh, did you want some ground beef?
260g for $13!!
Thir--that's it?! You see how small that is?!
THIRTEEN DOLLARS!
Oh look at this little baby piece right here:
$15.
$13 for 100g.
Oh, did you want a steak? Look at this:
500g under 500g.
$34!!
That's...
I'll just take that, put it in the cart~
You, eh, you do that. That's your Christmas present.
(Sad) awww....
We're-we're done. ._.
100g of yughoe usually starts at around $10~$12.
This place is at $15.
So for 2 servings, this cost us $30...
...for 200g of beef.
But I mean it's good beef.
You don't really want to get like a cheap raw beef experience, right?
This is fresh, delicious, amazing, local beef.
I didn't have any yet... TT^TT
I'll just go for the next part.
I didn't have any.
Can you just keep filming~
Umm, that's a really large chunk...
Well, we got a lot here.
You call that a lot?
That's hardly a lot.
Look--look at all that.
Simon throws the beef everywhere... ><""
Got to tell you, it doesn't look great on camera. Hehe~
Mmmm~ The first thing you taste is the sesame oil.
And the tenderness of the meat with a little bit of the sweetness kicked in,
I gotta say, I'm not really a big fan of Korean beef.
I've had lots of it. Never really does it for me.
Except for when it's in yughoe format:
when they strip down the fat; make it a lot less chewy than it normally is.
And just like seasoned it so perfectly.
It doesn't need to be cooked.
Look at it.
In all its un-photogenic glory.
Now I want you to pay attention to something right here.
You'll see Martina says that she loves meat so much.
Her plate has got nothing but salads on it.
I'm the one with meat on my plate.
My salad is full with tiny sea creatures.
That's not meat.
That's a little--that's a little nice squid.
Homp, NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMASDFGDSGFKDL
This right here Korean pear. Also known as, "bae."
B-A-E
That's right, bae. Make all the bae jokes you want to make.
What they usually want to when it comes to raw Korean beef is they have a lot of bae julienned thinly.
When you add it together with your beef,
the freshness of the Korean pear, which is nothing like a North American pear,
you can't compare the two --they're just totally different fruits.
It really brightens out the flavor.
Korean pear and raw Korean meat.
Didn't know it was a good pairing until you've tried it.
Didn't know if it was a good
PEAR--ING
Is it ap-pear-ant now? Ehh, eehhh.
You didn't even eat your pear!
I didn't. I just wanted the meat in my mouth.
...
That's not--
Awww yeaahh qurl.
The phrasing came out wrong with that.
I know watcha tryin' to say.
I'm trying to say that I just want the meat-taste in my mouth.
Awwww yeaahh quurrlll~~
There is no way to word this.
I only want it to taste like meat. I don't want any other disturbances in there like fruit or vegetable.
...
Awww yeaahh qurl.
Ya, there's no recovery. But now I'll eat it.
Now that it's on its own.
Oooh, covered in meat juice~ Mmmmm
MMMMMMMM
Now we did not just come here for yughoe.
Even though I would love for just a meal of just like raw beef and walk away,
that would actually be kinda weird in Korea.
But it's not really a meal on its own. So we ordered it and got it as an appetizer here.
And then of course we got a meal of beef on its own with it.
So, now that I've had beef, I'm gonna finish my meal with some more beef.
K, here we go~
Cooked Korean beef. Not my favorite style. I prefer it raw.
//nom//
It doesn't do it for me.
It's chewy.
-Got it. No problem. I will take on the burden of eating all this meat for you. -No, I'm here to eat.
And there's more meat over there, so just leave it up to me. Okay?
I'm gonna keep on eating.
Don't--don't worry! Don't force yourself.
Hey, there's some lettuce~
-I can't waste it. -Just eat the lettuce.
So that's it for this week's Food Adventure Program For Awesome People.
For this week's *Wonderful* Food Adventure Program--
For this week's AMAZINGLY Wonderful Awesome
The first half was--
The first half was great when the meat wasn't cooked.
Okay, Mr. Picky-Picky-Pants.
I hope you feel more encouraged now to try raw Korean beef.
It is my favorite way to eat Korean beef. It's so good.
You know what's one thing we didn't mention?
What?
It's not really trendy, young people food.
Ya!
So don't expect to go to like a young neighborhood and be like,
"Let's get the raw beef~"
I feel that it's like an old man-food, but ya know what?
I don't care. It's delicious!
Also, to our vegetarian and vegan viewers, I'm sorry if this video had no appeal to you. We do have a vegetarian video.

'Cause that was out of this world!!
-It was. It was my favorite beef. -Out of this world!
It was amazing. That was the best beef that I have ever had.
Ya, that was the best beef I have ever had.
(That Kobe beef was the best meat they've ever had...)
