Meat jun is a Korean fusion dish consumed in Hawaii, United States. It is also called "beef jun" outside of Hawaii. The dish is a variant of jeon (Korean pan-fried dishes) and descends from sogogi-jeon ({{Korean|hangul=소고기전|labels=no}}). 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.{{Cite web |last=Kalani |first=Nanea |date=2011-10-14 |title=Friend or Foam: Hawaii's Plate Lunch History |url=https://www.civilbeat.org/2011/10/13267-friend-or-foam-hawaiis-plate-lunch-history/ |access-date=2024-11-08 |website=Honolulu Civil Beat |language=en}} Unlike typical beef jeon, in meat jun the beef is marinated.

Ingredients
Meat jun is a simple dish composed of marinated meat, eggs, and flour. While jeon can be made with many other ingredients, this Hawaiian take on soegogi-jeon is typically made with thinly sliced beef that is marinated in a sweet soy sauce (shoyu) and will usually come with a simple dipping sauce that is either soy- or gochujang- based which is mixed with rice wine vinegar, sesame oil and red pepper flakes or chili oil, which is typically optional.{{Cite web |date=2022-07-08 |title=Meat Jun (Chen-Ya) - Hawai'i Nutrition Center |url=https://nutritioncenter.ctahr.hawaii.edu/meat-jun-chen-ya/ |access-date=2024-11-04 |language=en-US}}
