Time 12h40m

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 pounds flaken cut short ribs
¼ cup green onions (sliced as a garnish)
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (as a garnish)
1 cup water
1 cup soy sauce
1 Asian pear (peeled and seeded)
1 Fuji apple (peeled and seeded)
1 kiwi (peeled)
½ yellow onion (peeled)
5 large garlic cloves
1 1-inch knob fresh ginger (trimmed)
⅔ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup rice wine vinegar
¼ cup honey
3 Tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

  • Blend the marinade. Combine all ingredients, except for the beef ribs, green onions, and sesame seeds in a blender jar with a tight fitting lid. Blend on high until the marinade is totally smooth.
  • Marinate the ribs. Place the sliced beef ribs, one at a time in a gallon zip top bag, pouring some of the marinade in between each rib as you place it in the bag. This will ensure that the ribs are evenly marinated. Place the bag in the fridge and marinate for at least 8 hours, or up to 24 hours, turning and massaging the bag halfway through the marinade time.
  • Preheat the grill. Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450-500 degrees F). Charcoal is my favorite grill to use for this recipe, but it also works on a gas grill or a grill pan.
  • Grill the short ribs. Slowly remove each short rib from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip away. Set each rib directly on the grill grates, without letting them overlap. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, developing nice char marks on each side of the ribs. Use an internal thermometer to check for doneness and pull the ribs off of the grill when they reach 130 degrees F.
  • Garnish and serve. Arrange the grilled ribs on your serving platter and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Provided by JinJoo Lee

Categories     Beef

Time 1h25m

5 lb Korean Short Ribs - LA Cut
1 medium onion ((about 4 oz / 120 g))
1/2 cup water
1 cup soy sauce

4 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
1 tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp green plum syrup ((optional))

Steps:

  • Rinse ribs under water to remove any bits of bone. Drain. Trim any chunks of fat but most of the fat will melt away during grilling time. These ribs were good quality ones with minimal fat. Drain washed ribs.
  • While ribs are draining, cut onion into chunks or just half, if onion is small. Cut green onions into shorter lengths to fit into the blender. Here's all the ingredients for the marinade to go into the blender.
  • In a blender or chopper, add onion and 1/2 cup water. Blend until smooth.
  • Add remaining 1 cup soy sauce, 1/2 c red wine, 1 c sugar, garlic cloves, green onions, 4 T sesame oil, 1 T sesame seeds, 1 tsp pepper and optionally 2 T green plum syrup (if you want to).
  • Blend until smooth.
  • In a container, add Kalbi pieces and the marinade. Mix everything so each piece is evenly coated.
  • Let ribs marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hr to overnight. If you are in a hurry, even 30 minutes will work.
  • Take ribs out of the fridge and heat your oven broiler for 5 minutes. Lay out your Kalbi on a metal grill pan and broil it on the top rack for 4 minutes for the first side. Then turn it over and grill another 3 minutes on the other side.
  • Serve immediately with rice and other Korean side dishes.

KALBI (KOREAN BBQ SHORT RIBS): AUTHENTIC RECIPE



Kalbi (Korean BBQ Short Ribs): Authentic Recipe image

After trying many recipes for homemade-style Korean BBQ, I finally found a great recipe from a friend who learned it from his mom. It's sweet, salty, spicy, and very tender (Thanks to the Coke®). I use this same recipe to make Bulgogi and Dae Ji Bool Gogi (Spicy Pork) and simply change the onions to sliced bulbs for the bulgogi.

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.

Categories     Beef     Marinate     Fourth of July     Low Carb     Father's Day     Backyard BBQ     Beef Rib     Steak     Summer     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 pounds of cross-cut short ribs, each sliced lengthwise about 1/3" thick
Korean BBQ Marinade
Scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Place short ribs in a resealable plastic bag; pour Korean BBQ Marinade over. Seal bag; turn to coat and chill 3 hours. Let come to room temperature before grilling. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Build a medium fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Grill 2-3 minutes per side, or until just cooked through.
  • Transfer to a platter and let rest 5-10 minutes. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality short ribs: Look for ribs with good marbling, as this will help them stay tender and flavorful during cooking.
  • Prepare the marinade ahead of time: The longer the ribs marinate, the more flavorful they will be. Try to marinate them for at least 4 hours, or even overnight.
  • Use a charcoal grill for the best flavor: Charcoal grills produce a higher heat than gas grills, which will help to caramelize the ribs and give them a delicious smoky flavor.
  • Cook the ribs over indirect heat: This will help to prevent them from burning and will allow them to cook through evenly.
  • Baste the ribs with the marinade or sauce during cooking: This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the ribs, making them even more tender and delicious.

Conclusion:

Kalbi, or Korean BBQ short ribs, is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your kalbi turns out perfectly every time. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
