Meat jun is a highly popular dish in Hawaii, and is usually known as beef jun outside of the islands. Like jeon, the Korean word for fritter, it consists of thinly sliced marinated beef dipped in an egg batter that is then pan-fried, or deep-fried, and typically served with rice, mac salad and banchan, like how many other plate lunches in Hawaii are served.[1] Meat jun originates from a Korean dish known as soegogi-jeon (쇠고기전), or gojijun, which translates to meat, or beef fritter.

While Meat jun is the Hawaiian adaptation of the Korean dish, soegogi-jeon, it is served as an everyday dish instead of being reserved for special occasions, and what makes this dish different from typical beef jeon is that the beef is marinated. This dish is an example of the cultural blending that commonly occurs due to the outside influence of other cultures on the islands of Hawaii.[2]
