Gyukatsu grilled in Isigny butter at Ichigyu, a Wonju restaurant

Ichigyu Wonju is a beef sirloin gyukatsu (breaded beef cutlet) restaurant on the first floor of the Lotte Cinema building in Musil-dong, Wonju. The writer ordered the jumbo sirloin gyukatsu and the steki set, grilling bite-sized pieces on the table's special gyukatsu grill plate with melted Isigny butter to their preferred doneness — crispy outside, juicy inside, with the butter flavor pairing beautifully. A good pick for comparing gyukatsu and steak side by side when you want a hearty meal.
