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 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 lb beef short ribs (flanken style, cut in 1/2-inch slices across the bones)
1/3 c soy sauce
1/3 c brown sugar
1/3 c rice wine
1 Tbsp sesame oil
2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper or gochujang
1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
1 red or green hot pepper, sliced
8 clove garlic, peeled
1 small asian pear - peeled, cored and quartered (you can use a regular pear or tart apple)
1/4 c water
1 piece fresh ginger (1 inch), peeled
2 tsp sesame seeds
4 to 6 fresh lettuce leaves
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
OPTIONAL ACCOMPANIMENTS
ssamjang (spicy korean soybean paste), for dipping
steamed white rice

Steps:

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. Put onion, chile pepper, 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.
  • 3. Bring ribs to room temperature, drain and discard marinade. In the meantime, preheat grill or oven broiler.
  • 4. 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, garnish with green onions and serve immediately with lettuce leaves on the side. Accompany with ssamjang and steamed rice, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality short ribs. Look for ribs with good marbling, as this will help ensure they are tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the ribs for at least 2 hours, or overnight. This will help the flavors to penetrate the meat and make them more tender.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low. This will help to break down the collagen in the meat and make them fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Baste the ribs frequently with the marinade or cooking liquid. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or kimchi.

Conclusion:

Korean-style short ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a meal that your family and friends will love. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting recipe, give Korean-style short ribs a try.
