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.

KALBI (KOREAN MARINATED SHORT RIBS)



Kalbi (Korean Marinated Short Ribs) image

On my half-day off, I decided to relax by making my favorite Korean meat dish, kalbi (marinated short ribs). Serve with white rice and kimchi. If serving small children (and wanting to prevent a mess), it's best to cut the meat off the bone and slice into bite-sized pieces. The dark marinade can stain clothes, so be careful.

Kalbi - Korean Short Ribs Blender Marinade image

KALBI OR GALBI (KOREAN SHORT RIBS), HOWEVER YOU WANT TO SPELL IT, IS SIMPLY THE BEST WAY TO EAT SHORT RIBS ON THE BBQ.

Provided by JinJoo Lee

Categories     Beef

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 lb Korean Short Ribs - LA Cut
1 medium onion ((about 4 oz / 120 g))
1/2 cup water
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup red wine
1 cup sugar
6-8 large garlic cloves ((40 g))
3 green onions
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.

GALBI - KOREAN BBQ MARINATED BEEF SHORT RIBS



Galbi - Korean BBQ Marinated Beef Short Ribs image

Recipe video above. This is an excellent Korean barbecue marinade that will work with pork, chicken or even lamb. And while it's delicious cooked on the stove, a BBQ will better replicate the true Korean barbecue experience!Do not worry about overcooking the thin slices of beef. The marinade is magical, it keeps the thin slices of beef incredibly tender even if you cook it for over 10 minutes which would ordinarily turn the beef into inedible dry cardboard!

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.

1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons black pepper

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

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!

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®).

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality short ribs: Look for ribs that are meaty, with a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that they are tender and flavorful after cooking.
  • Make sure to marinate the ribs for at least 24 hours, or up to 3 days. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the meat, resulting in a more flavorful dish.
  • When grilling the ribs, cook them over indirect heat at a low temperature. This will help to prevent them from burning and will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Baste the ribs with the marinade or a barbecue sauce during the last few minutes of cooking. This will help to glaze the ribs and add extra flavor.
  • Serve the ribs hot, with a side of rice or noodles and a dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Kalbi, or Korean marinated short ribs, is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and savory flavor, kalbi is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
