KOREAN BBQ SHORT RIBS (GAL-BI)



Korean BBQ Short Ribs (Gal-Bi) image

This is a easy way to make Korean BBQ. You can also substitute chicken breast or sliced rib-eye for the short ribs. If you use chicken or rib-eye, you must add thinly sliced green onion tops. This can also be broiled in the oven for the same amount of time.

CHINESE-STYLE BARBECUED RIBS



Chinese-Style Barbecued Ribs image

These are the best oven-roasted ribs ever, and they can also be finished on a grill for extra smoky flavor. Creating steam in the oven is the key to tender meat. The ingredients here are close to the ones used by traditional Cantonese barbecue masters to produce sticky-salty-sweet meat that has a reddish, caramelized crust - with ketchup standing in for Chinese red fermented tofu. (It can be left out if desired.) Although these ribs are presented as an appetizer in many American Chinese restaurants, barbecued meat is traditionally a main course, served with freshly cooked rice and a green side like smashed cucumber salad or stir-fried bok choy.

Time 6h

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
4 scallions, white and pale green parts only, plus additional sliced scallion for garnish
3/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 cup ketchup, or 4 tablespoons tomato paste or Chinese red bean paste (nan ru)
1/4 cup honey or light corn syrup, more to taste
1/4 cup soy sauce, more to taste
1/3 cup Chinese rice wine or vodka
1/4 cup rice vinegar or cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
2 racks baby back or St. Louis-style pork spareribs, 5 to 10 pounds total (see note)
Cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, mince garlic and scallions. Add hoisin, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, rice wine or vodka, rice vinegar and five-spice powder. Process until well blended. Taste for sweetness; the mixture should be sweet like barbecue sauce, not candy. Adjust the taste with honey, soy sauce and vinegar.
  • Set aside 1/3 cup marinade for basting. Transfer remaining marinade to a container or pan large enough to hold the ribs, or to large resealable plastic bags. Add ribs and turn until well coated. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, and up to 2 days, turning occasionally in the marinade.
  • Heat oven to 300 degrees. Set up a rimmed baking sheet (or two) with an oven-safe wire rack that fits inside, the kind you'd use for cooling cookies. Line the bottoms of the pans with foil or nonstick baking mats. Place the racks inside the pans and place the empty pans on the bottom rack of the oven. Pour in hot water until it comes about halfway up the sides of the pan. (Do not skip the water: The steam helps cook the meat to the right tenderness.)
  • When the oven is hot, remove the ribs from the marinade and place on the racks, meaty side up. Bake without basting, 1 hour for baby back ribs, 2 hours for St. Louis style ribs. Check the water level occasionally to make sure it hasn't cooked off.
  • Remove ribs from the oven and raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees. Pour off any water from the baking sheet and return the ribs to the racks. (Alternatively, you can finish the ribs on a medium-hot grill; see below.)
  • Return ribs to the oven and roast (or grill), basting 2 or 3 times with reserved marinade, for 20 to 30 minutes (less time for baby backs, more for spareribs). Watch the ribs carefully to make sure that the edges don't burn, and don't baste them too close to the end; they should be dry and sticky, not wet on the surface.
  • Use a big knife to cut between the bones, making sure that each rib has meat on both sides. Mound on a platter, sprinkle with scallions and cilantro, and serve immediately.

ASIAN-STYLE BRAISED SHORT RIBS



Asian-Style Braised Short Ribs image

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 pounds beef short ribs, cut into 4-ounce portions
1 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 (5-inch) stalk lemongrass, halved and smashed
1 tablespoon peeled and minced ginger
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 quart water
1/2 cup sliced green onion bottoms, white part only
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Jasmine Rice, for serving
2 teaspoons finely grated orange rind, for serving
Sliced green onion tops, optional for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a wide stockpot or Dutch oven, combine the short ribs, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, lemongrass, ginger, brown sugar, water, green onion bottoms, crushed red pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the orange juice. Make sure that the stockpot is deep enough so that the short ribs are submerged in the liquid.
  • Bake the short ribs, covered, for about 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bones. Remove the short ribs from the braising liquid and cover to keep warm. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
  • Drain the fat off of the cooking liquid and discard. Place the remaining braising juices in a medium saucepan with 1/4 cup of the hoisin sauce and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the liquid until only about 1 1/4 cups remain. Strain through a fine-meshed strainer, discarding the solids. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of orange juice and the lemon juice.
  • Return the short ribs and the reduced sauce to the stockpot or Dutch oven, coating the short ribs well with the sauce. Bake for 10 minutes, until the short ribs are heated through and slightly glazed. Serve hot over jasmine rice. Season each portion with the orange zest and garnish with the green onions if desired.

SWEET AND SPICY ASIAN BARBECUED RIBS



Sweet and Spicy Asian Barbecued Ribs image

Provided by Food Network

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 slabs baby back ribs, trimmed of excess fat, about 3 pounds
1/3 cup Chinese five-spice powder
1 strip thick cut bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 shallot, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1/3 cup ketchup
2 heaping tablespoons honey
2 heaping tablespoons apricot preserves
2 heaping tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons chili sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
2 green onions, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to approximately 250 degrees F.
  • Lightly season the ribs with the five-spice powder so it forms a light crust. Put the ribs, meat side up, over an area of the grill with indirect heat. Let the ribs cook for 2 hours.
  • While the ribs are cooking, prepare the barbecue sauce. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook slowly to render its fat, about 4 to 5 minutes. Discard the particles with a slotted spoon, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Reduce the heat to low, add the shallot and garlic, and saute until fragrant and slightly caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the light soy sauce and rice vinegar. Allow the liquid to deglaze the pan for a moment, and then whisk vigorously to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the hoisin sauce and ketchup, and continue whisking together until well incorporated. Simmer the glaze for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the honey, apricot preserves and brown sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Simmer for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Add the ginger, whisk and keep simmering for 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the chili sauce and let the sauce simmer for a final 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from heat. Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce in a separate bowl.
  • After the ribs have cooked for 1 hour, begin basting them with the barbecue sauce. Coat them well once every 15 minutes, until the ribs reach an internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the ribs from the grill to a cutting board and let rest, tented with aluminum foil for 5 minutes. Slice the ribs between each bone and arrange them on a serving dish. Drizzle with the reserved glaze and garnish with the chopped green onions.

Provided by Steph

Categories     Main Course

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 pounds baby back ribs (about 2 slabs)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tablespoon dry mustard
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 Tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon sriracha
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 Tablespoon water
1/2 Tablespoon sesame seeds
2 green onions (diced)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
  • Remove the membrane from the ribs (if desired), then rinse the ribs under cold water and pat dry.
  • In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, dry mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Massage into ribs.
  • Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet, then cover them with another piece of foil.
  • Bake ribs for 2 - 2 1/2 hours (check at 2 hours to see if they're done, continue cooking if they're not).
  • While the ribs finish up cooking, in a saucepan over medium heat, add honey, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sriracha. Bring mixture to a boil, then turn down heat.
  • In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and water, then add to the mixture and simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken.
  • Remove ribs from the oven and turn the temperature to broil. Brush ribs generously with sauce, then broil for 2-4 minutes (be sure to watch them closely so they don't burn).
  • Top with sesame seeds and green onions.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Opt for short ribs that are meaty and have a thin layer of fat. You can use either beef or pork ribs.
  • Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim off any excess fat.
  • Use a good marinade: The marinade is what will give your ribs their flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that is packed with flavor and that includes acidic ingredients like soy sauce, rice vinegar, or citrus juice.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: The best way to cook ribs is to cook them low and slow. This will help them become tender and fall-off-the-bone.
  • Baste the ribs frequently: Basting the ribs with the marinade or a mixture of water and apple cider vinegar will help them stay moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the ribs even more tender.

Conclusion:

Asian barbecued short ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your ribs turn out perfect every time.
