Pyeonyuk (Korean: 편육; Hanja: 片肉) is a traditional Korean dish, which consists of thinly sliced meat that has been boiled and pressed.[2] Either beef or pork may be used to make the dish.
It is eaten as anju (an accompaniment to alcoholic drinks), or used as a topping for other dishes such as naengmyeon (cold noodles) and seolleongtang (ox bone soup).[3] In the past, pyeonyuk was made during the preparation of a large amount of beef stock or broth for various dishes served during feasts and banquets.[4] Today, it is also used in non-traditional dishes, such as a cold cut in wrap sandwiches, and is considered to be a healthier alternative to deep-fried, stir-fried, or roasted meat.[3]
