Ingredients
Ingredients
- Brisket – frozen and thinly sliced brisket to the thickness of deli meat. Can be picked up at your local Korean markets, Asian grocery stores or can be requested from a local butcher.

- Neutral Oil – no taste or flavor with high cooking temperature. Some choices are sunflower oil, peanut oil, sallower oil, vegetable oil, and canola oil.
- Soy Sauce – low-sodium Soy Sauce preferred. Can also use tamari for gluten-free.
- Sweetener – use your preferred sweetener.
- White Vinegar – distilled white vinegar. Used as the base tang found in the recipe.
- Toasted Sesame Oil – 100% Toasted Sesame Oil that should have a dark brown color. Adds a touch of signature Korean BBQ flavors into the brisket.

- Green Onions – freshly chopped, optional garlic.
- Toasted Sesame Seeds – optional garnish.
🥩 Brisket Note
If thinly sliced brisket is unavailable, Shaved Beef serves as an excellent substitute for this recipe.
Essential Kitchen Equipment
- Wok or Deep Large Skillet
Directions
☑ Before Getting Started
For optimal brisket stir-frying, go with a roomy Wok or Deep Skillet to ensure the brisket has sufficient space to cook effectively.
Step 1 Prepare sauce by combining soy sauce, white vinegar, sweetener, grated garlic and toasted sesame oil in a mixing bowl.
Step 2 Preheat cooking oil in a large wok or skillet under medium heat. Once the oil is up to temperature, add in thinly sliced brisket and sliced onions. Cook under medium heat until the brisket are browned, about 2-3 minutes.
🍳 Stir Frying Pro Tip
Keep the brisket moving in the pan by Stirring Constantly. This prevents sticking and ensures even cooking of all the brisket.
Step 3 Once brisket is cooked, add in sauce, stir just to coat and transfer beef brisket to a serving plate.
🌿 Garnishing Pro Tip
For an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal, consider garnishing your dish with chopped Green Onions and Toasted Sesame Seeds.
Recipe Variations
To achieve a traditional Korean BBQ brisket chadol, serve Korean BBQ Dipping Sauce alongside the dish, just like in my Pan Seared Korean BBQ Brisket.
Pairing Recommendations
This stir fry complements Korean-style banchan side dishes, such as my Korean Pickled Garlic or Korean Pickled Vegetables. If you’re looking for a vegetable pairing, it pairs with a green salad dressed in Korean Style Salad Dressing, served alongside your choice of rice. For an additional protein option, consider serving it with my Korean BBQ Bulgogi.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef if I can't find brisket?
While brisket is the ideal choice for this recipe, if you can't find it, I recommend using shaved beef as a suitable alternative. The thin slices of shaved beef will still work well with the flavors of the dish and provide a similar texture to brisket when cooked.
Can I marinate the brisket in advance for more flavor?
Marinating the brisket in advance isn't necessary for this recipe. The sauce used in the stir-fry is flavorful enough to infuse the meat with plenty of flavor.
How long should I stir fry the brisket for optimal tenderness?
It's important not to overcook the brisket. Once the beef is browned during the stir-frying process, it's essentially done since the pieces are thinly sliced.
Can I use frozen brisket for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen brisket for this recipe. However, ensure that the brisket is completely defrosted before cooking to ensure even cooking.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate. They can be kept for 3-5 days.
