1. You can substitute the skirt steak with other cuts of beef. But one of the great things about this recipe is that it uses skirt steak which is a budget cut, and turns it into something so amazing. Try to use a cut of steak that isn't too thick because otherwise the marinade won't infuse enough into the meat.

2. The original recipe in David Chang's "Momofuku" cookbook uses a Kimchi Puree as the second sauce instead of the Ssam sauce. The Ssam sauce is also from his cookbook and is served with his famous Pork Bo Ssam. It's such a great sauce and goes wonderfully with this recipe which is why I have used this instead of the Kimchi Puree.

However, if you want to use Kimchi Puree instead, simply puree 250g/8oz of Kimchi to a chunky paste.

3.These nutrition facts assumes this serves 6 people and that you use all the sauce (which is where a lot of the calories are because of the oil in them) but the reality is that you probably won't use all of it so the calories are overstated. Skirt steak is actually a very lean cut and the meat itself is only 250 calories. The balance of the calories are from the sauce.
