Transfer beef into a large sealable freezer bag (you may need 2). Add marinade, press out excess air from bags, and seal. Turn bag over several times to ensure beef is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
  • Heat gas or charcoal grill to medium-hot. Drain excess marinade off beef. Grill short ribs, turning once, to desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, if desired. Serve whole pieces as a main course or cut into smaller pieces, using kitchen shears, for a starter or party nibble.

KOREAN BBQ SHORT RIBS (GAL-BI)

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.

GALBI (KALBI) GRILLED KOREAN SHORT RIBS (FLANKEN CUT)



Galbi (Kalbi) Grilled Korean Short Ribs (Flanken Cut) image

This is my favorite recipe for ribs. Korean-style short ribs are cut lengthwise across the rib bones, this is also known as 'flanken'. The result is a thin strip of meat, about 8 to10 inches in length. The thin slices make for fast cooking on the grill, which makes them great to cook for company. We serve them with rice and various Korean side dishes. This recipe differs from the others posted on RecipeZaar as they are missing one crucial ingredient used by the Korean woman that taught this recipe to my husband. The ingredient is Coca Cola. Sounds strange, but it works wonderfully and helps to keep the meat tender and juicy. Prep time does not include the marinating time. The longer you marinate these ribs, the better they come out.

GALBI (KOREAN-STYLE SHORT RIBS)



Galbi (Korean-Style Short Ribs) image

This dish, known as galbi, is a fine thing to eat in a restaurant, but it also makes for a wonderful and easy meal at home. If you buy English-style short ribs, which are cut along the bone, you must butterfly the meat into a thin, long strip. If the ribs you buy are flanken-style, in which a band saw is used to cut across the ribs, creating half-inch slices of beef dotted with three little bones, rinse them under cold water before seasoning to remove any bone fragments. It's a good idea to let the ribs marinate for at least two hours to allow the seasoning to penetrate; marinating overnight is even better.

Time 30m

Yield About 20 slices, 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 pounds short ribs, cut in 1/2-inch slices across the bones (flanken-style)
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup rice wine
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne or gochujang
1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
8 garlic cloves, peeled
1 small Asian pear, peeled, cored and quartered (or use an ordinary pear or tart apple)
1 1-inch chunk of ginger, peeled
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Lettuce leaves
Sliced red or green hot pepper, optional
Ssamjang (spicy Korean soybean paste), for dipping, optional
Steamed rice, optional

Steps:

  • Rinse short ribs in cold water, pat dry and place in a wide shallow bowl. In another bowl, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine, sesame oil, black pepper and cayenne.
  • Put onion, garlic, pear and ginger in the work bowl of a food processor. Grind ingredients to a smooth purée, then add to soy sauce mixture. Add sesame seeds. Thin with ¼ cup water. Pour marinade over short ribs and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Bring to room temperature, drain and discard marinade.
  • Cook short ribs on a hot grill or under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until nicely browned but juicy. Pile grilled meat on a platter and serve immediately with lettuce leaves on the side. Accompany with sliced hot peppers, ssamjang and steamed rice, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Flanken-cut short ribs are the traditional cut for galbi, but you can also use chuck short ribs or rib-eye steak. Just be sure to choose a cut that has good marbling, as this will help to keep the meat tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the ribs for at least 4 hours, or overnight: This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and sesame oil is a good place to start.
  • Cook the ribs over high heat: This will help to caramelize the marinade and create a nice crust on the outside of the ribs. You can grill the ribs, pan-fry them, or broil them.
  • Serve the ribs with a variety of dipping sauces: Some popular choices include soy sauce, sesame oil, and gochujang (Korean chili paste). You can also serve the ribs with a side of rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

Galbi is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great choice for a party or a special occasion, but it is also simple enough to make for a weeknight dinner. With a little bit of planning and effort, you can easily make galbi at home that is just as good as anything you would find at a restaurant. So what are you waiting for? Fire up the grill and get cooking!
