Receta Steak Tteokbokki (Korean Spicy Rice Cakes w Steak)
I made this quick but delicious version of tteokbokki (spicy rice cake) with one of my favorite ingredients--steak. Instead of the usual fish cakes (odaeng), I substituted it with big chunks of steak and a different shaped tteok called joraengee tteok..

- For prep, thaw the frozen rice cakes for at least 15 minutes prior to usage, or soak them in semi-cold water for 5 minutes.
- Cut the steak into 1-inch chunks. Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan with 1 tbsp olive oil. Cook steak chunks until slightly browned and then add the minced garlic, cook another 2,3 minutes.
- Add the remaining seasonings with water and soy sauce. Carefully mix together and cook on medium heat for 10 minutes or until rice cakes are soft.
- Serve hot with rice or eat stand alone (warning: it can be spicy if eaten this way).
- One common variation (there are many) of tteokbokki is the addition of instant ramen noodles with the rice cakes. It is very popular in Korea and has a name of its own--labokki. Also, be sure to taste the sauce as it thickens and adjust the level of spiciness (gochujang) or sweetness (brown sugar or corn syrup) depending on your taste preference.
