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:

  • Use a variety of ingredients. The more ingredients you use, the more complex and flavorful your marinade will be. Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations of spices, herbs, and other ingredients.
  • Let the meat marinate for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight. This will give the flavors time to penetrate the meat and make it more tender.
  • Use a non-reactive dish for marinating. This means a dish that won't react with the acids in the marinade and leach harmful chemicals into the food. Glass, stainless steel, or ceramic dishes are all good choices.
  • Cover the meat completely with the marinade. This will ensure that all of the meat is evenly flavored.
  • Turn the meat occasionally while it's marinating. This will help the marinade to penetrate the meat evenly.
  • Discard the marinade after you've used it. Do not reuse it, as it can contain harmful bacteria.

Conclusion:

Kalbi marinade is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your favorite cuts of beef. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a marinade that will make your meat tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Whether you're grilling, roasting, or pan-frying your meat, a good kalbi marinade will take your dish to the next level. So next time you're looking for a way to add some extra flavor to your meal, give kalbi marinade a try. You won't be disappointed.
