Categories     Main

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1.5 kg bone-in beef short ribs ((3.3 pounds))
250 g carrots ((8.8 ounces), peeled & cut in medium size chunks)
200 g Korean radish ((7 ounces), (or daikon radish), optional, cut in medium size chunks)
1/2 cup water
1 red apple ((or nashi / asian pear), (170 g / 6 ounces), cored & chopped)
1/2 onion ((60 g / 2 ounces), peeled & chopped)
6 Tbsp soy sauce (, regular)
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp rice wine ((mirin))
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp sesame oil
5 whole black peppercorns

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with some water (about 2/3 of the pot) and bring it to boil. While the water is boiling, soak the ribs in cold water. Once the water in the pot is rapidly boiling, transfer the short ribs into the pot and boil them over medium high heat for 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the water away and rinse the ribs in cold running water. Cut off any excess fat (with a pair of scissors) from the ribs. Place the short ribs in the instant pot.
  • Meanwhile, blend the sauce ingredients in a mixer or food processor until smooth.
  • Pour the sauce over the short ribs. Put the lid on and make sure the vent is in the sealed position. Set the pot to pressure cook on high for 35 minutes. After the pressure cook cycle is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for 15 mins (the vent is still closed). Then do quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam. Unlock and remove the lid.Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to a large bowl then cover and set aside. Cancel the keep warm mode. (Which would have activated automatically when it finished pressure cooking.)
  • Add the prepared vegetables into the pot. Set the pot to sauté (normal) for 20 minutes and cook the vegetables until soft. Meanwhile, the sauce will turn thick and glazy. Set the pot to off and transfer the vegetables and the sauce to the meat, then toss to coat. (If desired, you can separate the oil from the sauce as explained in the cooking tips above). Garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
  • Serve the ribs with steamed rice and other Korean side dishes. Steamed vegetables such as broccoli go well too.

INSTANT POT® GALBI (KOREAN-STYLE SHORT RIBS)



Instant Pot® Galbi (Korean-Style Short Ribs) image

This version of delicious Korean beef short ribs dish for your Instant Pot® or other multi-cooker pressure cooker will have the ribs falling off the bone! Soaking the ribs first is the traditional method. I recommend soaking for at least an hour, though traditionally you would soak them for longer than that, changing the water after the first hour. If you don't have an Asian pear, an apple will do as a substitute. Serve over white rice.

INSTANT POT KOREAN STYLE SHORT RIBS



Instant Pot Korean Style Short Ribs image

The Instant Pot® makes it quick and easy to enjoy rich, tender short ribs, but it's the sauce that makes this dish shine. Inspired by the Korean pantry, it combines gochujang, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, sesame oil and fresh pear, and gets reduced to a wonderfully sweet and sticky glaze. The cucumber and scallion salad makes for a cool and crunchy accompaniment.

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red chile paste)
2 tablespoons peeled and grated ginger
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/2 pear, peeled, cored and grated on the large holes of a box grater
2 cloves garlic, finely grated
3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 pounds 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick crosscut bone-in beef short ribs (flanken style)
2 scallions, green part only, sliced thinly on the diagonal, plus additional for serving
1 hothouse cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced

1 to 2 teaspoons gochugaru (Korean red chile flakes) or 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, plus additional for serving
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Kosher salt
Serving suggestion: Steamed rice

Steps:

  • Whisk together the soy sauce, gochujang, ginger, brown sugar, pear, garlic, 2 tablespoons sesame oil and 1/4 cup water in a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Place the short ribs on top and follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 25 minutes (see Cook's Note).

Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to a large bowl, then cover and set aside.
  • Set the pot to saute on high for 30 minutes and let reduce until the liquid is thick and glazy, about 15 minutes (about 1/2 cup of sauce will remain). Set the pot to off and transfer the reduced sauce to the meat, then toss to coat.
  • Meanwhile, toss the scallions, cucumber, rice vinegar, gochugaru, sesame seeds, granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining tablespoon sesame oil in a medium bowl and cover and chill until ready to serve.
  • For charred short ribs (optional): Position an oven rack as high as it can go in the oven and preheat the broiler to high. Transfer the glazed ribs to a rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and broil until lightly charred on both sides, about 1 minute per side.
  • Serve the ribs over steamed rice topped with the pickled cucumbers, additional scallions and sesame seeds.

Provided by Jasmine Pak

Categories     Lunch

Time 4h35m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 ½ lb korean beef short ribs
½ asian pear, peeled, cored, and chopped
½ medium yellow onion, chopped, plus more thinly sliced, for serving
1 ½ pieces fresh ginger, peeled
5 cloves garlic
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup water
½ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ cup honey
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more as needed
1 green onion, chopped

Steps:

  • Rinse the short ribs under cold water. Soak in fresh cold water for 30 minutes to get rid of any impurities and bone fragments.
  • Meanwhile, make the marinade: In a blender, combine the Asian pear, yellow onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, water, brown sugar, honey, and sesame oil and blend until smooth.
  • Remove the short ribs from the water and pat dry. Transfer to a clean container and pour the marinade over the short ribs. Mix well to make sure the short ribs are evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a Korean barbecue griddle, large cast iron skillet, or nonstick pan over medium heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, cook the short ribs until they reach your desired doneness, flipping only once to retain the moisture in the meat, 2-3 minutes per side. When the ribs are almost done cooking, cut between the bones into smaller pieces. If not using a Korean barbecue griddle, use paper towels to absorb any excess sauce as the meat cooks.
  • Serve the galbi on a bed of thinly sliced yellow onion and top with the green onion.
  • Enjoy!

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.

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

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 beef: Galbi is typically made with short ribs, which are cut from the lower part of the cow's ribcage. Short ribs have a good amount of meat and fat, which makes them ideal for braising or grilling.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef helps to tenderize it and add flavor. The marinade in this recipe is made with soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
  • Cook the beef over low heat: Galbi is best cooked over low heat so that the meat has time to become tender. You can cook it in an Instant Pot, a slow cooker, or on the stovetop.
  • Serve with rice and side dishes: Galbi is traditionally served with rice and a variety of side dishes, such as kimchi, japchae, and gyeran-jjim.

Conclusion:

Galbi is a delicious and flavorful Korean dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights. Serve it with rice and your favorite side dishes for a complete meal that your family and friends will love.
