Instructions
Prepare raw beef safely
Cut beef on a dedicated board, keep it refrigerated, and wash hands and sanitize the work area.
Time: 8 minutesTemperature: Refrigerated
Look and feel: Pieces are even and remain cold.
Safety: Prevent raw-beef juices from contacting ready-to-eat food.
Start the simmer
Place beef, water, garlic, scallions, and onion in a pot; bring to a boil, skim foam, then reduce to a covered simmer.
Time: 12 minutesTemperature: Boil then low simmer
Look and feel: Broth simmers gently.
Safety: Open the lid away from your face and use a clean skimming utensil.
Cook safely and tender
Simmer until beef exceeds 145°F / 63°C, completes a 3-minute rest equivalent in the hot covered environment, and continues until fork-tender.
Time: 55 to 70 minutesTemperature: Low simmer
Look and feel: A fork enters easily and the thermometer confirms the safety minimum was exceeded.
Safety: The safety minimum does not by itself establish tenderness; test cooking controls the final texture endpoint.
Rest and shred
Move beef to a clean bowl, rest at least 3 minutes, then shred with clean forks; strain 720 ml / 3 cups broth.
Time: 10 minutesTemperature: Warm
Look and feel: Beef shreds into long fibers.
Safety: Use only clean tools and a clean bowl after cooking.
Braise in soy
Return shredded beef and measured broth to the clean pot with soy sauce, rice syrup, and optional chiles; simmer until seasoned and reduced.
Time: 15 to 20 minutesTemperature: Gentle simmer
Look and feel: Beef is deeply seasoned and liquid remains for storage.
Safety: Reduced salty liquid is hot; avoid splashing.
Serve or cool promptly
Serve hot, or divide beef and liquid into shallow clean containers and refrigerate within 2 hours.
Time: 5 minutesTemperature: Hot or cooling
Look and feel: Beef remains moist in the braising liquid.
Safety: Cool in shallow containers; do not leave the deep pot at room temperature.

Questions this draft anticipates
Recipe FAQ
Is 145°F enough for tenderness?
It is the whole-cut beef safety minimum with a rest, but jangjorim requires further simmering until test-cook-verified tender.
Why store it in liquid?
