📝 Editor's Notes
This Suji (Beef Tendon) Curry offers a rich and hearty flavor, combining chewy suji with tender beef tenderloin. The layers of flavor built with kelp stock, various spices, wine, and tomato sauce are exquisite. While it requires a long simmering time and care, the result is a sophisticated and deeply flavorful meal that is truly special.
🛒 Ingredient Tips
It's important to choose fresh suji (스지, beef tendon). Make sure to remove any blood and clean it thoroughly. If suji is hard to find, you can substitute with oxtail or short ribs to still achieve a rich flavor. Using a variety of curry powders is the 'kick' of this recipe, so try to prepare several types. Leftover curry can be refrigerated and enjoyed the next day, as the suji will firm up like jelly, offering an even chewier texture.
🥘 Ingredients
👨🍳 Cooking Points
The essence of this curry lies in 'time' and 'care.' Caramelizing the onions sufficiently to develop their sweetness and deep color is crucial. Don't forget to sear the suji and beef separately to lock in their juices. The deglazing process with red wine, scraping up the delicious browned bits from the pan, is key to enhancing the flavor. And remember, you must remove the kelp (다시마, dasima) to achieve a clean, deep flavor without any bitterness!
👨🍳 Directions
- 1
Soak kelp (다시마, dasima) in water to make kelp stock in advance. (*Start a day before)
- 2
Slice 3 onions and cut 1.5 carrots into bite-sized pieces.
- 3
Cut 2 potatoes into large chunks.
- 4
Rinse suji (스지, beef tendon) under water to clean. (Suji is the tendon part of beef, which becomes chewy yet tender the longer it's simmered.)
- 5
Remove blood from the beef tenderloin, then season with salt and black pepper.
- 6
Cut the beef into large chunks.
- 7
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a pan, add the prepared suji, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté.
- 8
Once the suji is browned, transfer it to another dish.
- 9
In the same pan, add the beef and sauté, then transfer to another dish.
- 10
Add the sliced onions to the pan and sauté thoroughly.
- 11
Add a small amount of butter and continue to sauté the onions until they are golden brown.
- 12
Add the sliced carrots and potatoes, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté together.
- 13
Add 2 tsp minced garlic and 1 tsp minced ginger and sauté together.
- 14
Add the reserved suji and beef and sauté together.
- 15
Pour in a swirl of red wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- 16
Add one can of canned crushed tomatoes and pour in all the kelp stock. (To use all the tomato sauce, pour some kelp stock into the can to rinse out any remaining sauce.)
- 17
Add bay leaves, 1.5 tbsp soy sauce, 1.5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tbsp Endo Robou 3x Concentrated Tsuyu (flavored soy sauce). Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes.
- 18
After simmering for about 10 minutes, remove the kelp (다시마, dasima). (It's essential to remove the kelp to achieve a deep and lingering flavor.)
- 19
Slice 4 shiitake mushrooms and add them to the simmering curry.
- 20
Add 8 blocks of S&B Golden Curry Hot (curry roux) and stir until dissolved. (This amount is for 6 servings.)
- 21
Add 2 tsp Hachi Curry Powder, 2 tsp I Love Sauce Garam Masala Powder, and 3 tsp I Love Sauce Curry Powder, and mix well. (Using a variety of curry powders gives the curry a more unique aroma compared to commercial options.)
