What it is
Thick slices of premium beef tenderloin, grilled to perfection, usually seasoned simply with salt and pepper. Served without any marinade or sauce beyond light seasoning. Typically eaten with lettuce wraps and optional simple dipping sauces (e.g., sesame oil with salt/pepper).
Key ingredients
Beef tenderloin, salt, black pepper, sesame oil (for dipping)
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugary marinades are used. Request plain grilling. Avoid sweet dipping sauces like ssamjang or ganjang-based sauces with sugar. Stick to sesame oil with salt/pepper.
Say this to the waiter (Korean)
안심 구이는 단 양념 없이 구워주시고, 단 소스는 빼주세요.
Please grill the Ansim Gui plain, with no sugary marinades. I'll need a non-sweet dipping sauce.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in dipping sauces (ssamjang, gochujang-based sauces, some soy sauce marinades). Large quantities of high-carb banchan if not careful.
