Five-spice Beef Salad(ohyangjangyuk salad)

….This recipe is similar to a boiled beef salad. When I boil the beef, I add some spices in it. After boiling, the beef is marinated with five very strong spices. My husband likes this dish with strong spices. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find one spice-dried cloves. Cloves are dried flower buds from the clove tree. They are a popular spice that people use in soups, stews, sauces, and rice dishes. Cloves are very small size but it tastes very strong and spicy. It’s used to flavor various foods. Today, I added black peppers instead of cloves for spicy taste. I liked the result with the soft smell, but my husband didn’t. If you like the strong taste of this dish, you have to add cloves in it. I made it a long time ago and it was delicious to me. This recipe is from @comble2.
