Korean Chadolbaegi, Grilled Thin-Sliced Brisket

Chadolbaegi is paper-thin sliced beef brisket that cooks in seconds on a hot grill. There is no marinade at all; the rich, beefy slices are dipped in a sesame-salt sauce or wrapped with tangy pickled onions. It is one of the fastest and easiest keto meals you can make.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds thinly sliced beef brisket (frozen, sliced for Korean BBQ)
  • Sesame salt dip: 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Quick pickled onions: 1/2 onion thinly sliced, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon allulose, 1 tablespoon water, 1 jalapeño sliced
  • Lettuce leaves and perilla leaves for wrapping

Instructions

  • Make the pickled onions: stir together the soy sauce, vinegar, allulose and water. Add the onion and jalapeño and let them sit for at least 15 minutes.
  • Mix the sesame oil, salt and pepper in small dipping dishes.
  • Heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking.
  • Lay the brisket slices in the pan in a single layer. Cook for 15 to 30 seconds per side, just until the meat curls and browns.
  • Serve immediately with the sesame salt dip, pickled onions and lettuce for wrapping.

Notes

Chadolbaegi is sliced so thin that it can overcook in seconds. Cook just a few slices at a time and eat them hot, the way it is done at Korean barbecue restaurants. Look for it in the frozen section of Korean and Asian markets.
Chef's Tip: Keep the brisket slices frozen until just before cooking. They are easier to separate and cook more evenly.
Keto Swap: No changes needed. The pickled onions are usually made with sugar; allulose keeps them low-carb.
Success Tip: Kids love the quick sizzle and simple flavor. Let older children help cook their own slices at the table on a portable grill.
Nutrition is calculated from the ingredients and is an estimate per serving. Net carbs exclude fiber and allulose.
