Tips for Experienced Cooks
For an experienced chef, consider adding a twist by integrating more complex flavors. You can try sous-viding the beef with the marinade for enhanced tenderness and flavor. You can also ferment your own kimchi for the slaw to elevate the authenticity and complexity of the dish. Don't be afraid to play around with plating techniques – a beautiful presentation can make the dining experience unforgettable.
