Yakiniku

Yakiniku, meaning “grilled meat,” is a Japanese term which, in its broadest sense, refers to grilled meat dishes. Today, it commonly refers to a Japanese style of cooking bite-sized meat (usually beef and offal) and vegetables on gridirons or griddles over flame of wood charcoals carbonized by dry distillation or gas/electric grill. In North America, China and Taiwan, Yakiniku is also referred to as either “Japanese barbecue” or “Korean barbecue” due to its Korean origins.
