I've had this as part of a bimbimpap with a spicy dressing, but not served just as raw beef.

It can be had in the form of yuke bibimbap, or yuke ishiyaki (sorry, the Japanese word for the heated stone bowls?) bibimbap.

While these are good, the meat gets prettty much cooked and you lose the flavor that is yuke.

Look for the real stuff usually served as an appetizer.

The kind I had was totally uncooked... just had cooked (but cooled) rice in it. The veggies and the beef were raw.

I've had this, served alongside dotanabe bibimbap (with manduk etc etc). It's quite good.

Not my favourite way of having beef though.

Currently that's a thick strip steak, sliced, tossed with shoyu and chile oil, minced garlic and ginger, kosher salt, black and white pepper. Then briefly seared on a tabletop grill and popped into the mouth screeching hot but raw inside. With rice, several kinds of kimchee and shrimp and mushrooms and scallions for the grill. Simple, but I've had it about four times over the last eight days.

Suzanne, yes, it's great. A lot chewier than tartare but similar enough that the completely different seasoning is very interesting.

One common problem with restaurant Yukhue, other than chewiness, is that they freeze the beef to slice it, resulting in a vrey cold to frozen dish.

Also of note, Sakagura used to serve a 'Maguro Yukhue', substituting tuna for beef and quail egg for chicken's.

I know.

Like most things, I wouldn't trust someone else to prepare it these days. Unless I am in the kitchen with them, learning a technique I don't know. I'm too old for restaurants. Even the most amazing dish would be useless to me unless I saw it being done so I could do it.

Linen and service doesn't impress or interest me.

I can't imagine how I would be about someone bringing me a platter of raw beef sliced when frozen. It begins with storming into the kitchen and gets worse from there...

If you aren't happy with the yuke you have eaten keep looking, when you find it you will know! :biggrin:

I have eaten it in about 20 plus restaurants and by far the best one is served at a higher end yakiniku (Korean BBQ) near my house.

It should never be very cold or frozen when served, and the best is definitely made with wagyu (Japanese beef).

If you are ever in the Yokohama area just let me know.............................

Took a friend to dinner last night, to a place called Kung Suh on 32nd in Manhatta. Ordered Bulgulki, Short ribs and yuke. We agreed: Yuke was by far the best dish, tho the bulgoki was delish. It did come with julienned pear and man was it amazing. Thank you for the recommendation.

Wow.  This is hardcore stuff that I'm surprised the average gai-jin eats even I don't touch it (and I'm a native)!  I'll stick to raw fish for now like Hwe do bop - spicer version of Chirashi.

Oh come on!

Yuke is food of the Gods! :biggrin:

Back when I was a food inspector with the US Army, I would jump with excitement every timethe meat truck pulled, running my hands over the insides of the carcasses (part of the job!) was pure joy. I actually left trails of drool around the back room as the meat was being cut up, my friend had to actually drag me out of the room a couple times.

If it wasn't so dangerous nowadays I would probably eat all of my beef raw! :biggrin:

Me too, but also i wonder how dangerous it is,,,

One friend in NY has H. Pylori, or perhaps several friends but one who's awares, and of course bacteria and parasites are ever more common. I wonder though what the risks are and how you'd know if you got bit, if you'd know right away or if it could just remain, insidious and lurking... :hmmm: not that I'd let that stop me...

Torakris, I shudder the thought of your hands massaging the insides of a cow carcasses.  That's enough for my spine to tingle kinda reminds me a midnight screening of "Texas chainsaw massacre".  :wacko:

Let me tell you it is the most incredible feeling! :biggrin:

Have you ever though about how many people's hands touch your meat before it reaches your table :blink:
