EASY BULGOGI (KOREAN BBQ BEEF)
Most Bulgogi recipes call for crushed pear. This is for tenderizing the meat. My boyfriend's Korean mother says Coca-Cola® can also be used for the same purpose. This recipe uses very thin-sliced meat so tenderization isn't necessary. Sugar is used instead.

EASY SWEET & SAVORY KOREAN BBQ GRILLED BEEF SHORT RIBS (KAL
This is probably the best homemade Korean grilled beef dish EVER, no exaggeration. I guess you can think of it as a Korean-style beef teriyaki. It is my daughter's favorite way to eat meat and I've never met an American who didn't like it. I was surprised not to find any other kalbi recipe on the zaar, though there are many for braised short ribs and the other korean bbq beef, bulgogi. Kalbi is simple and delicious. Growing up, I typically only had kalbi on special occasions, family holiday dinners, church picnics, and the like. In a restaurant, it can get very pricey but it's a real treat of an experience to have kalbi cooked right at the table and have all sorts of side dishes to eat with it. This recipe is also very flexible: easily doubled; any sweeteners can work in place of sugar (pear juice, honey, brown sugar); easily fried in a skillet or broiled in the oven or grilled... You can serve with just rice, or go all out restaurant-style and serve with red lettuce leaves for wrapping, spicy bean paste, slices of garlic cloves, sliced up scallions and kimchi. It's up to you! The only important thing to remember is the proportion of sugar to soy sauce to water that will result in the best combination of sweet and savory. Prep time does not include marinating time.

Steps:
- Rinse short ribs under the faucet to get rid of loose bone bits. Soak the short ribs in water for 10 minutes to drain out some of the blood. They can be soaked in a roasting pan, ziploc bag, or large bowl--- whatever container you would like to use for marinating.
- In your marinating container, combine sugar, water, soy sauce, sesame oil, onion, garlic, sesame seeds and scallions. Dissolve the sugar into the mixture as much as possible, but it will likely not become totally dissolved.
- Lay rib pieces in the marinade, dispersing onion slices between and on top of the meat and submerging the meat as much as possible.
- Let the beef marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes, and ideally overnight.
- Line the grill with foil and poke holes in the foil. On medium high heat, grill the short ribs 5-7 minutes on each side until the meat is cooked medium-well and the bones do not bleed. In my opinion, this particular dish is best with a bit of burnt edges and near-well-doneness.
- Serve with rice.
- Alternatively, add extra flair! Wash and break off whole leaves of red lettuce and place on a serving plate (note: red lettuce is not actually red and is widely available in grocery stores). In a small bowl, toss long thin slices of scallion with sesame oil and red pepper flakes. Serve short ribs cut into thirds or about 1 inch squares (kitchen shears work best). In a small dish, place spicy bean paste or hot sauce. To assemble, wrap each piece of meat in a red lettuce leaf with scallion mixture and a dot of the spicy sauce.

Steps:
- Coat the brisket on all sides with the rub and actually rub it in. Pull out a length of plastic wrap for the brisket and drizzle some oil where you plan to place the brisket. Place the brisket on top and drizzle the top with oil. Wrap tightly and rest at room temperature for 2 hours. If you are making this ahead of time, you can refrigerate, then rest on the counter for 2 hours before braising.
- Add 2 tablespoons of oil to a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to swirl, add the brisket and sear on all sides until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
- Add the onions, carrots and potatoes to the pot and cook for a few minutes to coat them in the fat and get a bit of color. Make the contents of the pot as level as possible, toss in the garlic, then place the seared brisket on top of the vegetables.
- Stir together the BBQ sauce and stock in a medium bowl. Add to the pot around the brisket, being careful to only fill halfway up the brisket, leaving a bit of the seared meat above the liquid line (you may not use all the liquid). Raise to a boil and lower to a low simmer. Cook, covered, for 2 to 3 hours without peeking, until the brisket is tender!
- Remove the brisket from the pot to a plate and cover gently with aluminum foil. Remove the vegetables from the pot with a slotted spoon and place in a food processor. Blitz until smooth, adding liquid from the pot if needed for texture. Use the remaining liquid as a sauce for the brisket, if desired. Transfer the mash to a bowl and fold in the parsley. Serve with the sliced brisket and additional sauce.

EASY BBQ CHICKEN MARINADE
Came up with this one on the fly. This quantity of ingredients will be sufficient marinade for 4 drumsticks. I like to use zipper-seal bags for marinating because the air can be removed so that the meat is surrounded by marinade, which means I can throw it into the fridge and forget about it until cooking time. I get a nice, even marinade on every piece without any extra fuss. Plus, it is one less dish to wash after.

Steps:
- 1. Pour the can of beef broth into slow cooker and add boneless pork ribs. Cook on high heat for 4 to 8 hours, or until meat shreds easily. (I cook 8 hrs, because I put it on before work, even w/ frozen pork and it's done when I get home).
- 2. Remove meat from liquid. (I save the liquid for my homemade vegetable soup and put it in a bowl in the freezer) Using two forks, pull meat apart to shred it. It may not seem like it's working right away, but keep working at it and it will.
- 3. Stir in the entire bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce (I use sweet, but use whatever is your favorite). Cover and cook on high for another 30 minutes or until completely heated through. Fill hamburger buns.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Meat: Select high-quality cuts of meat with good marbling for optimal flavor and tenderness. Consider the cooking time and desired doneness when selecting your meat.
- Proper Seasoning: Generously season your meat with a blend of spices, herbs, and salt. Allow the meat to rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking to enhance the flavors.
- Control the Heat: Maintain a consistent cooking temperature throughout the grilling process. Use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of the meat to ensure it reaches your desired doneness.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Do not overcrowd the grill with meat or vegetables. This can prevent even cooking and result in undercooked or burnt food.
- Let it Rest: After grilling, allow the meat to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
With careful preparation, attention to technique, and a touch of culinary creativity, you can elevate your backyard barbecue into an unforgettable dining experience. Experiment with different recipes, explore new flavor combinations, and master the art of grilling to impress your friends and family with your culinary skills. Remember, practice makes perfect, so fire up your grill and embark on a journey of delicious discoveries.
