Discover the Best Hanwoo Dishes at Futureok: A Guide to Gourmet Korean Comfort Food

Translation result

When the day winds down and dinner plans feel daunting, SBS is bringing a warm bowl and some heartfelt, down-to-earth stories straight to your living room. On the 7th, Live Today serves up several lifestyle segments that mix health, flavor, and everyday moments. One highlight: a deeply flavorful hanwoo (Korean premium beef) spread that’s bound to inspire tonight’s meal.

In the episode airing on the 7th, Live Today features the segments Our Neighborhood Doctor — Odalcheong, Delicious Commute, and Up and Down.

For the Delicious Commute — Today’s Premium Hanwoo Feast segment, the show spotlights Miraeok in Gangnam, Seoul. The restaurant is known for a variety of dishes built around hanwoo, Korea’s prized beef.

Standout dishes include hanwoo gomtang with neungi mushrooms and hanwoo gomtang with fragrant minari (water parsley). The classic hanwoo gomtang remains a steady favorite. The menu also offers hanwoo suyuk jeongol — a hot pot of freshly boiled beef shank served with crisp vegetables. Seasonal and preference-driven options range from kongguksu (cold soybean noodles) and buckwheat bibim noodles to perilla-oil noodles and mandu-guk (dumpling soup).

Gomtang is a quintessential long-simmered broth. It’s lightly seasoned so the ingredients’ natural flavors can shine. A steaming bowl of gomtang is widely seen as comforting and easy on the stomach, which keeps it popular all year long.

Customer feedback reflects that appeal. One Naver review said, “The minari gomtang had a refreshing broth, the minari itself was great, and the meat was really tender. The portion was large, so I left full and satisfied. The shank served as suyuk was tender and slightly chewy — perfect when you want something clean and healthy.”

Another visitor wrote, “I ordered the kongguksu and the buckwheat bibim noodles — I think I’ll be coming back a lot this summer.” A different reviewer added, “The neungi gomtang delivered deep mushroom and broth flavors. The yukhoe perilla-oil noodles tasted homemade — rich, without artificial seasonings.”

Someone else summed it up: “A place that nails healthy, clean flavors really knows food — and Miraeok does just that.” Diners praise the clear, savory broths and the menu’s thoughtful simplicity.

Notably, the hanwoo suyuk jeongol pairs boiled shank with vegetables, giving you both a hearty broth and satisfying meat in one pot. It’s often recommended for family-style meals. Add a side of buckwheat bibim noodles or perilla-oil noodles for a more varied table.

SBS’s Live Today airs on weeknights as a lifestyle and current affairs program focused on everyday life.

Miraeok is open daily from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM. On nights when a rich bowl of broth is calling your name, many will head there to close the day with a warm gomtang and a tidy hanwoo spread.
