Hosted at The Steak House, the limited collaboration brings together Korean culinary memory, precision meat preparation, and the restaurant's long-standing focus on charcoal grilling to showcase Hanwoo beef, Korea's native cattle breed and one of the country's 100 National Cultural Symbols.
A Collaboration Built Around Meat, Memory, and Craft
Chef David Lee, owner-chef of Guunmong in Seoul's Hannam-dong and known to many as the "Meat Gangster," brings a cooking style shaped by exacting meat preparation and personal memory. His collaboration with Chef Amine Errkhis of The Steak House is designed as one shared menu rather than two separate chef showcases.
Together, they explore the culinary character of Hanwoo—a premium ingredient celebrated for its fine marbling, gentle natural sweetness, and tender, supple texture. The bespoke menu uses preparation and heat to demonstrate how the same beef can move between boldly seasoned Korean tradition and a more restrained charcoal-grilled style.
Two Expressions of Hanwoo Over Charcoal
The collaboration centres on the Hanwoo 1++ ribeye, presented in two contrasting expressions. Chef David Lee's galbi-marinated ribeye draws on a recipe passed down from his mother. The savoury-sweet marinade is designed to complement the ribeye's natural richness rather than cover it, while charcoal heat creates caramelised edges and a gentle smokiness.
Alongside this, Chef Amine Errkhis presents a Hanwoo 1++ Ribeye Cap with Glazed Heirloom Carrot. Taken from a richly marbled section of the cut, the beef is rolled into a compact cylinder for even cooking, seasoned simply with sea salt, and grilled over charcoal until deeply seared outside and medium-rare within. The heirloom carrot introduces sweetness, acidity, and texture as a counterpoint to foreground the pure character of the beef.
Fire and Fermentation: A Seoul–Hong Kong Culinary Dialogue
The broader five-course menu places Hanwoo within a conversation between Seoul and Hong Kong, extending the immersive culinary journeys associated with Regent Hong Kong's Dining Destination. Chef Lee's Yook Hwei on Brioche pairs Hanwoo filet mignon with Korean pear, uni, gochujang, and buttery brioche, while the Kimchi Bouillabaisse layers lobster, shellfish, cod, and shrimp with fennel, saffron, kimchi, kombu, cheongju, and doenjang. These dishes use fermentation, seafood, and Korean pantry flavours to build context before the main course, where live fire becomes the defining technique.
The evening concludes with Sweet Corn Bingsu by Executive Pastry Chef Andy Yeung, combining butter-grilled local sweet corn, milk bingsu, and jasmine rice ice cream for a lighter finish after the charcoal-grilled beef courses.
