yukhoe

Yukhoe () is a raw meat dish in Korean cuisine. It is most commonly made of beef but it can come in various kinds and cuts of meat.

Yukhoe literally means 'sliced and raw (meat or fish)' (hoe, ) 'meat' (yuk, ). Therefore, in the strictest context, the term designates any dish of raw meat cut up for consumption without the marinade but, colloquially, yukhoe means a dish of marinated raw beef slices. Though relatively rare to find these days, yukhoe can come in all kinds of meat. Yukhoe made of other meats will specify the source of the meat, for instance, a kkwong-yukhoe is made of pheasant, and a mal-yukhoe is made of horse meat.
