I am mixing my cultures for this recipe we have the distinctly Eastern flavors of the hummus, and I am enhancing the beef with a mix of Korean spices. This is an excellent dish to serve at a casual get-together with family and friends. It is super easy to make, and you can cook up the beef a day ahead of time, and keep in the fridge until ready to serve. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make get-together essentials: beef & hummus plate

  • 1
    Gochujang, or red chili paste is a savory, sweet, and spicy fermented condiment. The sweetness comes from the starch of cooked glutinous rice, cultured with saccharifying enzymes during the fermentation process.  Traditionally, it has been naturally fermented over years in earthenware jars on an elevated stone platform. Although this condiment has sweet flavor notes; it also very spicy. If you have never worked with it before, I would suggest that you put half the recipe recommended amount into the sauce, and then give it a taste. We can always add more heat to a dish, but it is rather difficult to take it out. As this Korean condiment becomes more-and-more popular with Western chefs, it becomes easier to find in your local grocery store.
