Our Visit
This is the entrance to the Meat Market in Majang-dong in Seoul.
Isn't it impressive?
If you continue walking straight after entering the market, you will eventually arrive at Hwasin Butcher Shop on your left.
This is the display case at Hwasin Butcher Shop featuring grade 1++ Korean beef, or Hanwoo.
Isn't the marbling on the meat amazing?
We were so impressed by the quality of the meat.
If you would prefer to buy meat that isn't pre-packaged, there is a menu displaying the various cuts of meat available for purchase.
Just let the butcher know which cut of meat you would like and how much, and they will prepare this for you.
This menu display is available in Korean, Chinese, English, and Japanese.
According to the menu display, the butcher shop recommends that you cook Hanwoo one of two ways: over a charcoal fire or on a stone-plate grill.
We chose some cuts of meat from the display case.
Although the color of both pieces of meat pictured above was different, they were both cuts of beef chuck.
The cut of meat on the left is the more popular choice among customers while the one on the right is more fatty.
We purchased about 200-300g of these cuts of meat.
The butcher prepared our cuts of meat in a separate package for us.
We decided to order one more cut of meat, beef sirloin.
The butcher trimmed off any excess fat, so the weight of the meat would be more accurate.
We appreciated that!
The butcher's wife wrapped our order for us so that we could take it to a restaurant to cook and enjoy.
We decided to prepare our beef on a charcoal grill.
At the meat market, there are restaurants where you can prepare and eat your freshly bought meat for a small price.
Every restaurant is slightly different, but on average, it will cost 4,000 to 5,000 won per customer.
The butcher's wife was kind enough to recommend and walk us to a place where we could prepare our meat in such a way.
This was the restaurant that she took us, too.
The interior was very clean and spacious.
We couldn't wait to start grilling!
We laid out all of our meat for grilling!
We started with our sirloin cut!
Our server recommended that we cut it half so that it would cook faster and more evenly.
The smell coming off the grill was amazing!
Our mouths started to water.
We were ready to start grilling the rest of our sirloin cut.
There are many ways to enjoy your Hanwoo.
You can eat it in a lettuce wrap with some onion and kimchi.
You can even dip it in some salt.
We think that eating Hanwoo with a little bit of wasabi is best!
After enjoying the sirloin, next up was the beef chuck.
The meat was thin but tender and so juicy.
We enjoyed this cut very much.
If you make a purchase of at least 50,000 won at Hwasin Butcher Shop, they will give you a free pack of beef brisket!
This was the pork belly.
Before grilling your pork belly, we recommend that you ask your server to change out your grill pan.
You can also enjoy your grilled pork belly in a lettuce wrap with grilled onions and garlic.
This was the pork neck.
This cut of pork was tender and very juicy.
If you are wanting something in addition to meat, there are different menu items to choose from.
If you are looking for high-quality Korean beef, we recommend Hwasin Butcher Shop for their great service and wide selection of different cuts of meat.
