A small amount garlic and sesame seeds in the beef marinade add a Korean touch to this common pairing of fuki Japanese butterbur and beef. Serrano pepper becomes quite mild after simmering, so use more if you prefer something spicy. Adapted from "Bejikorian [Veggie-Korean]" by Jeon Kyonghwa.

<Notes>
- Since pepper loses its bright color when left with hot ingredients for some time (as shown in top photo), if you are making this ahead of time keep some fresh slices until the very end and add when heating the dish before serving. Bright color is always nice to see in the final dish.
- If shoyukoji is not at hand, use 1 tbsp soy sauce instead of the combination of 1/2 tbsp shoyukoji and 1 tsp soy sauce. Also increase the amount of sake and mirin to 1 & 1/2 tsp each (1 tbsp total with both).
