오랜만에 맛있는 고기 먹으러 외식 한 날 :) 고기 외식은 정말 연례행사로 하는 편인데요. 이 날은 짝꿍이 잘 아는 곳으로 가보았습니다. 푸에르코라는 곳이었는데 스페인어로 돼지라는 뜻이더라고요.
It had been a while since we went out for a good barbecue :) We usually only go out for meat once a year—it’s kind of a special tradition for us. This time, we visited a place my husband is familiar with.
It’s called Puerco, which I found out means “pig” in Spanish.
푸에르코는 숙성한우와 이베리코 돼지고기를 전문적으로 판매하는 곳이에요. (이베리코는 스페인산 흑돼지라고 합니다.)
Puerco specializes in aged Korean beef and Iberico pork. (Iberico refers to a breed of black pig from Spain, known for its rich flavor.)
술을 즐겨하진 않아서, 알콜은 패쓰..ㅎㅎ
We’re not really into alcohol, so we passed on the drinks.
저희는 홀에서 식사했는데, 룸도 있고 규모가 엄청 크더라고요. 뭔가 활기찬 분위기로 회식하러 온 회사원들도 많이 보였습니다. 홀도 좌석이 칸막이로 분리되어있어서 식사하기 좋았어요.
We dined in the main hall, but they also had private rooms—and the place was surprisingly big. The atmosphere was lively, and we saw lots of office workers there for company dinners. Even in the main hall, the seating was divided with partitions, so it still felt quite comfortable for dining.
고기는 개인 플레이트에 올려 먹을 수 있고, 취향에 따라 와인 솔트에 찍어먹거나 간장소스와 곁들여먹으면 됩니다.
You can place the meat on your own plate and enjoy it however you like—either dipped in wine salt or paired with soy sauce, depending on your preference.
고기를 찍어먹을 와사비, 겨자, 쌈장도 나오고, 파채와 같은 밑반찬도 깔끔하게 나왔어요.
They also served condiments like wasabi, mustard, and ssamjang for dipping the meat, along with clean and simple side dishes like seasoned scallions.
먼저 한우 스페셜을 주문했어요. 특안심, 설화등심, 치마살, 한우육회로 구성되어있어요.
We started with the Korean Beef Special, which included premium tenderloin, marbled sirloin, skirt steak, and Korean beef tartare (yukhoe).
고기가 구워지기 전에 서빙된 육회- 먹기전에 노른자를 풀어서 잘 섞어주면 감칠맛이 올라가죠 :)
The yukhoe (beef tartare) was served first, before the meat hit the grill.
Mixing in the egg yolk well before eating really brings out the umami flavor.
배랑 마늘 한조각까지 곁들여서 한입- 비리지 않고 쫄깃하니 맛있어요.
With a slice of pear and a clove of garlic, each bite is tender, flavorful, and perfectly clean!
고기는 직원분이 직접 구워주셨어요. 달궈진 팬에 소기름부터 둘러주고.
The staff grilled the meat for us, starting by coating the hot pan with beef fat.
맛있게 고기를 올려주십니다. 어쩌다보니 소고기-돼지고기 순서로 먹었어요 :)
The staff expertly grilled the meat for us, making sure it was cooked to perfection.
지금보니 야채에 비해 고기가 푸짐하네요. 안심과 등심의 색감이 먹음직스러워요.
The meat was definitely more abundant than the vegetables.
The deep, rich colors of the tenderloin and sirloin made them look especially inviting.
기름이 튈 수 있다보니 1회용 앞치마도 이렇게 제공이 돼요.
Since the oil can splatter, disposable aprons are provided like this.
육즙이 살아있는 치맛살 한 조각 :)
와사비 살짝 올리고 소금 찍어먹으면 진짜 맛있어요.
The meat is absolutely delicious when topped with a hint of wasabi and a sprinkle of salt.
돼지고기가 시그니처인듯하여, 돼지고기 세트도 주문했는데요.
After finishing the beef, we went ahead and ordered the pork set as well.
꽃목살, 갈비살, 항정살, 황제살, 플루마로 구성되어있어요. 부위는 눈으로 봐도 잘 구별이… 목살/항정살 정도만 알겠더라고요.
The set included neck meat, rib meat, pork jowl, emperor cut, and pluma. Most of the cuts looked quite similar to me—I could only really tell the neck and jowl apart.
식사용 된장찌개도 별도로 주문하고.
We also ordered a doenjang jjigae separately to go with the meal.
돼지고기도 맛있게 구워먹었어요. 하지만 개인적으로 돼지보단 소를 더 좋아합니다^^
We enjoyed the pork grilled to perfection as well, but personally, I still prefer beef over pork.
후식은 하드 아이스크림이 나오는데요, 포장이 깔끔하고 귀엽죠.
For dessert, they served hard ice cream, which came in neat and cute packaging.
상큼한 딸기 샤베트맛이었어요. 입가심하기 딱 좋은 맛이었어요.
It was a refreshing strawberry sherbet flavor.
집에서 고기를 구워 먹으려면 준비부터 정리까지 혼자서는 꽤 벅차지만, 오랜만에 배부르게 잘 먹은 날이었어요.
미국에서 먹어본 K-바베큐와 비교해도 고기 질이 훨씬 좋아서, 한국 음식을 경험해보고 싶어하는 외국인 친구에게도 꼭 소개해주고 싶은 곳이었어요.
맛있는 소고기 사먹으려면 다시 열심히 일해야겠네요. 😅
Grilling meat at home can be pretty overwhelming when you have to handle everything from preparation to cleanup by yourself, but this was a satisfying, hearty meal after a long time.
Compared to the K-BBQ I’ve had in the U.S., the quality of the meat here was much better. It’s definitely a place I’d want to recommend to my foreign friends who want to experience authentic Korean cuisine.
Looks like I’ll have to work hard again to treat myself to delicious beef like this!
