Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 racks baby back pork ribs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 small onion, sliced
1 cup kochujang (Korean hot sauce)
¼ cup white vinegar
¼ cup minced garlic
3 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 (1 1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger root, minced, or to taste
1 (1 1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger root, sliced, or to taste
1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle pilsner-style lager
1 ½ teaspoons toasted white sesame seeds
1 ½ teaspoons toasted black sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Remove membrane from back of ribs or score with a sharp knife. Place ribs in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper.
  • Puree onion in a blender or food processor. Add kochujang, vinegar, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, and minced ginger; puree into a sauce. Rub 1/3 generously over ribs, reserving the rest of the sauce. Cover ribs with plastic wrap and refrigerate 5 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Scatter sliced ginger root over the bottom of a roasting pan. Place ribs meat-side down on top of ginger slices and pour lager over ribs. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until meat is loosened from the ribs but not yet falling off the bone, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Let cool, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and lightly oil the grate. Place ribs on the grill and cook until browned, about 6 minutes per side. Coat with 1/2 the reserved sauce during the last 2 minutes of cooking each side. Garnish with white and black sesame seeds.

KOREAN-STYLE SHORT RIBS



Korean-Style Short Ribs image

A long marinade in a mixture of Korean ingredients infuses these short ribs with spicy-sweet heat. Braising the ribs locks in the fiery, garlicky flavor and results in incredibly tender meat that pulls easily away from the bone.

Categories     Beef     Garlic     Ginger     Onion     Marinate     Beef Rib     Sesame     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted and cooled completely
1 bunch scallions, trimmed and finely chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean hot-pepper paste)
1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
6 pounds beef short ribs or flanken
3 cups water
1 (2-inch) piece peeled fresh ginger, smashed
Accompaniment: kimchi
Special Equipment
an electric coffee/spice grinder

Steps:

  • Grind sesame seeds to a coarse powder in grinder. Reserve 1/4 cup scallion greens, then whisk together remaining scallions, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, hot-pepper paste, sesame oil, and 2 tablespoons sesame-seed powder in a large bowl. Reserve remaining sesame-seed powder for serving. Add short ribs to soy sauce mixture, rubbing mixture into them. Transfer ribs to a large sealable plastic bag and seal bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate, chilled, at least 8 hours.
  • Transfer ribs to a wide 6- to 8-quart heavy pot and add water and ginger. Simmer, tightly covered, until ribs are very tender, about 3 hours.
  • Transfer ribs to a platter using tongs and keep warm, covered with foil. Skim fat from sauce and pour sauce through a sieve lined with a dampened paper towel into a bowl, then discard solids. Serve ribs with sauce in shallow bowls and sprinkle with reserved scallion greens and remaining sesame-seed powder.

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 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.

SPICY KOREAN GLAZED PORK RIBS



Spicy Korean Glazed Pork Ribs image

These succulent ribs, a version of those served at Do Hwa, are adapted from the cookbook Dok Suni: Recipes from My Mother's Korean Kitchen by Jenny Kwak, whose mother owns Do Hwa. Wine: serve with a fruity, low-oak chardonnay

Provided by NcMysteryShopper

Categories     Pork

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 lbs pork baby back ribs, trimmed of excess fat
2 quarts water
4 ounces fresh ginger, unpeeled and thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
8 large garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups soy sauce
3 tablespoons sesame oil
3 tablespoons korean red pepper flakes or 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • In a large roasting pan set over 2 burners, cover the ribs with cold water and bring to a boil over moderately high heat. Boil for 5 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a large plate; discard the water.
  • Return the pan to the 2 burners and add the water. Add the ribs and ginger; bring to a boil. Add the sugar, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil and chile flakes. Cover with foil and boil over moderately high heat for 7 minutes. Simmer over moderately low heat, turning the ribs a few times, until tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the broiler. Transfer the ribs to a large rimmed baking sheet, meaty side down. Boil the braising liquid until thickened and intensely flavored, about 10 minutes. Strain the liquid; you should have about 2 cups.
  • Generously brush the ribs with the braising liquid and broil 4 inches from the heat, rotating the pan, until glazed and lightly charred, about 3 minutes. Turn the ribs meaty side up and brush again with the braising liquid. Broil, brushing occasionally and rotating the pan, until the ribs are glazed, about 4 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes, then cut between the ribs, mound on a platter and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use a Good Quality Gochujang: The gochujang is the key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a gochujang that is made with real Korean chili peppers and has a deep, rich flavor.
  • Don't Overcook the Ribs: The ribs should be cooked until they are tender and fall off the bone, but not so much that they become dry. Cook them for about 2-3 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve with Rice: Spicy Korean ribs are traditionally served with rice. The rice helps to soak up the delicious sauce and it also makes a great side dish for the ribs.

Conclusion:

Spicy Korean ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.
