Finer than Wagyu: Is Hanwoo the best meat in the world?

This sight could inspire any painter to greatness. A rosy pink roast beef, about two centimeters thick, laced with dozens of fine veins of fat that form an intricate pattern. It rests on an elegant wooden board, surrounded by small bowls of side dishes: marinated kimchi cabbage and pickled beans, fermented soybean paste, and garlic. »I don’t know any meat with such beautiful and even marbling as Korean Hanwoo beef«, says master chef Min Kyung Hwan. »Much finer than Wagyu, much richer than Angus.«
