EASY SWEET & SAVORY KOREAN BBQ GRILLED BEEF SHORT RIBS (KAL



Easy Sweet & Savory Korean BBQ Grilled Beef Short Ribs (Kal image

This is probably the best homemade Korean grilled beef dish EVER, no exaggeration. I guess you can think of it as a Korean-style beef teriyaki. It is my daughter's favorite way to eat meat and I've never met an American who didn't like it. I was surprised not to find any other kalbi recipe on the zaar, though there are many for braised short ribs and the other korean bbq beef, bulgogi. Kalbi is simple and delicious. Growing up, I typically only had kalbi on special occasions, family holiday dinners, church picnics, and the like. In a restaurant, it can get very pricey but it's a real treat of an experience to have kalbi cooked right at the table and have all sorts of side dishes to eat with it. This recipe is also very flexible: easily doubled; any sweeteners can work in place of sugar (pear juice, honey, brown sugar); easily fried in a skillet or broiled in the oven or grilled... You can serve with just rice, or go all out restaurant-style and serve with red lettuce leaves for wrapping, spicy bean paste, slices of garlic cloves, sliced up scallions and kimchi. It's up to you! The only important thing to remember is the proportion of sugar to soy sauce to water that will result in the best combination of sweet and savory. Prep time does not include marinating time.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 lbs beef short ribs (Flanken style or Korean style)
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 yellow onion, halved and sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
2 scallions, chopped
1 head red leaf lettuce, washed (optional)
3 scallions, sliced lengthwise (optional)
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional)
1/4 cup hot bean paste (optional) or 1/4 cup chili paste (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse short ribs under the faucet to get rid of loose bone bits. Soak the short ribs in water for 10 minutes to drain out some of the blood. They can be soaked in a roasting pan, ziploc bag, or large bowl--- whatever container you would like to use for marinating.
  • In your marinating container, combine sugar, water, soy sauce, sesame oil, onion, garlic, sesame seeds and scallions. Dissolve the sugar into the mixture as much as possible, but it will likely not become totally dissolved.
  • Lay rib pieces in the marinade, dispersing onion slices between and on top of the meat and submerging the meat as much as possible.
  • Let the beef marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes, and ideally overnight.
  • Line the grill with foil and poke holes in the foil. On medium high heat, grill the short ribs 5-7 minutes on each side until the meat is cooked medium-well and the bones do not bleed. In my opinion, this particular dish is best with a bit of burnt edges and near-well-doneness.
  • Serve with rice.
  • Alternatively, add extra flair! Wash and break off whole leaves of red lettuce and place on a serving plate (note: red lettuce is not actually red and is widely available in grocery stores). In a small bowl, toss long thin slices of scallion with sesame oil and red pepper flakes. Serve short ribs cut into thirds or about 1 inch squares (kitchen shears work best). In a small dish, place spicy bean paste or hot sauce. To assemble, wrap each piece of meat in a red lettuce leaf with scallion mixture and a dot of the spicy sauce.

"These ribs hit all the comfort-food flavor buttons for me: beefy, sweet, savory and salty. Eat them with your fingers or on a bed of warm white rice," says Jet.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup soy sauce (regular or low-sodium)
1/4 cup Coca-Cola
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 apple pear (Asian pear), grated on the large holes of a box grater
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds flanken-cut beef short ribs
Vegetable oil, for the grill
Kosher salt
2 scallions, very thinly sliced on an angle
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Combine the soy sauce, Coca-Cola, brown sugar, sesame oil, apple pear and garlic in a large bowl. Using whisk or fork, stir all the ingredients together until the sugar is dissolved and the garlic is distributed evenly. Add the short ribs and massage the marinade into the beef. Cover and allow the short ribs to marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
  • Prepare a grill for direct cooking over high heat; preheat for at least 5 minutes. Wipe the grill grates with a lightly oiled towel right before cooking to clean any char and debris. This will give you great grill marks and keep the beef from sticking.
  • Pat any marinade off the short ribs and grill for about 4 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness, moving the ribs around a bit if they start to flare up. Remove from the grill and sprinkle with salt. Garnish with the scallions and sesame seeds.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup (60 milliliters) soy sauce (I prefer regular but low-sodium is fine)
1/4 cup (60 milliliters) cola
3 tablespoons packed (40 grams) light brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 Asian pear, grated on a box grater
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 pounds 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick crosscut bone-in beef short ribs (flanken style)
Vegetable oil, for greasing
2 scallions, very thinly sliced on an angle
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Make the marinade: Combine the soy sauce, cola, brown sugar, garlic, pear and sesame oil in a large bowl. Stir together with a whisk or fork until the sugar is dissolved and the garlic is distributed evenly.
  • Marinate the short ribs: Add the short ribs to the marinade and massage it into the beef. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours.
  • Heat a grill pan or grill over high heat for at least 5 minutes. Wipe the grill pan or grill grates with a lightly oiled towel right before cooking to remove any char and debris. (This will give you great grill marks and help the beef from sticking.) Working in batches, pat any excess marinade off the short ribs and grill in a single layer for 4 minutes per side, or to your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and garnish with the scallions and sesame seeds.

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.

  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef for at least 30 minutes helps to tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Cook the beef over high heat: This will help to caramelize the outside of the beef and keep the inside juicy.
  • Use a grill or a grill pan: A grill or a grill pan will give the beef a nice smoky flavor.
  • Serve the beef with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for Korean BBQ include rice, noodles, vegetables, and kimchi.
