Yukhoe
The term yukhoe (육회, lit. "raw meat") refers to the traditional Korean beef tartare seasoned with a marinade.
Since the meat should be eaten raw, it is important that it is very fresh. Tartare should be served very cold, so keep the meat in the refrigerator until you have to use it (or even in the freezer for at least 15 minutes).
The recipe calls for the use of the nashi fruit, but you can supply it with a sweet and juicy apple.
