Does anyone know the name of the Korean BBQ practice of cross hatch cutting meat?

[munchetta]

My nephew told me when he was in Korea last year the best BBQ meat he had was a cross hatched and then grilled cut ( scored kind of like a mango!). He couldn't remember what that style of meat preparation was called. And while I have your attention, any suggestions for a restaurant in K-town who offers this style of BBQ would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance!

I have encountered this technique applied to fish in the State of Vera Cruz, Mexico.

that cross-hatch scoring isn't a uniquely Korean technique - it's employed in various cuisines with other ingredients too, and actually serves a number of purposes. it helps render fat out of duck breasts, can assist with marinade absorption, and also keeps meat from curling up when cooked (very useful for calamari/squid).

yes I remember doing that for Calamari but didn't know why! Thanks for info. You must be a good cook :) I can't wait to try Yang Nyum Galbi.

Thank you ns!. I was at Park on Vermont on Tuesday night and didn't know ! When you say Park, you meant the one on Vermont? Do you know the term for this sort of preparation so I know what to order on the menu?

Note that I've only seen that type of scoring on the short rib.
