Cut 150 grams of beef ribeye slices into small pieces.

In a bowl, add the beef, 2 pinches of salt, 1 big pinch of black pepper, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of finely minced scallions, 0.5 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Mix well.

Set the beef mixture aside.

Prepare the vegetables: Chop 170 grams of Dinosaur Kale, slice 1 medium carrot (about 60 grams), and cut 0.5 medium red bell pepper (about 120 grams) into thin strips. Optionally, julienne 3 romaine lettuce leaves.

For the cucumber side dish, cut 1 English cucumber (about 200 grams) into thin slices after removing some skin. Brine the cucumber slices in 1 tablespoon of Korean sea salt for 15-20 minutes.

Rinse the brined cucumber slices in cold water and gently squeeze them to release excess salt. In a bowl, mix the cucumber with 0.5 tablespoon of minced scallion (green part only) and 0.5 tablespoon of sesame oil. Set aside.

For the Dinosaur Kale, remove the hard stems and blanch the leafy parts in a medium-sized non-stick frying pan with 2 cups of boiling water and a generous pinch of salt for 15 seconds. Add 1 clove of garlic to the boiling water.

Transfer the blanched kale and garlic to a bowl of cold water to cool down, then strain and squeeze out excess water.

In a bowl, mix the blanched kale with a pinch of salt, black pepper, 0.5 teaspoon of soy sauce, 0.25 teaspoon of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of finely minced scallions (green part only), and 0.5 teaspoon of tenjang. Add 0.5 teaspoon of sesame oil and mix well. Roughly chop the kale and toss it with the mixture.

Preheat the frying pan on high heat for about a minute. Add 1 tablespoon of your favorite oil and fry 1 egg until it has a nice crisp exterior.
