소고기, or beef, is the meat obtained from cattle. It is a popular source of protein in many cuisines around the world. Different cuts of 소고기 can vary in tenderness and flavor, with options like ribeye, sirloin, and brisket being commonly used in various dishes. In Korean cuisine, 소고기 is often featured in meals such as 불고기 (bulgogi) and 갈비 (galbi). These dishes highlight the rich taste of the meat, often marinated and grilled or stir-fried. 소고기 is also a key ingredient in soups and stews, providing depth and richness to the flavors.
