Thin, tender slices cook fastest for hot pot and Korean barbecue. Beef short plate, brisket, rib cuts, sirloin and other thin-sliced options are common choices, while fattier cuts add richness. Match slice thickness to the cooking style so the meat cooks quickly without becoming tough.
Hot pot meat is usually sliced very thin so it cooks in seconds in simmering broth. Thin slicing also makes firmer cuts easier to eat. Keep the slices chilled until serving and add small batches so the broth stays hot.
Marinating is optional. Plain, well-marbled beef can be cooked with simple seasoning, while soy, garlic, sesame and sweet-style marinades suit many Korean barbecue dishes. If using a sugary marinade, watch the heat closely because it can caramelise and burn quickly.
