Posted on 27 Jan, 2016 - By

To be perfectly honest, a member of the tasting panel discovered and this recipe that is absolutely the best, I made a few twits to make the ingredients a bit simpler. The beef is terrific by itself and the mayo really takes it up a notch. Let me know what you think.

Pairing – A sparkling Rose’ might work here but beer is more closely associated with Korean food so a hearty IPA is probably best
