  2. Slice the Korean radish into thick discs, then into small squares. Set aside for later.
  3. Remove the beef from the pot. In the same pot, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the diced radish and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.
  4. Return the broth back to the pot with the sautéed radish and bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Slice the cooked beef into bite-sized pieces and mix with sea salt, sesame oil, sesame seeds, guk ganjang, and minced garlic in a bowl.
  6. Add the seasoned beef back into the pot with the radish and broth; simmer gently for an additional 10-15 minutes.
