Anju’s signature ssam board is a bold, hands-on take on Korean barbecue, featuring 24-hour marinated Creekstone boneless short rib grilled to a smoky char and finished in the oven for tenderness. The marinade — made with soy sauce, onion purée, garlic, brown sugar, sesame oil, and lemon-lime soda — creates a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and bright flavors. Served with red leaf lettuce, perilla, ssamjang, roasted garlic, crispy shallots, and more, the dish invites diners to build their own wraps, blending textures and tastes into a vibrant, customizable bite.
