This jjigae is made by adding beef brisket and various other ingredients to a base stew made of red chili paste. The stew is boiled down until reduced, creating a stew that is deep and spicy in flavor. Beef brisket adds even more flavor to the stock. Beef brisket in Korea is sliced thinly with plenty of fat. It is appreciated for its chewy and rich flavors. One can add other ingredients like summer squash, potatoes, bean curd, onions, and chili pepper to taste. Another version of this dish is the Beef Brisket Soybean Paste Jjigae, which switches out the red chili paste with soybean paste.
