Instant Pot Korean Style Short Ribs image

The Instant Pot® makes it quick and easy to enjoy rich, tender short ribs, but it's the sauce that makes this dish shine. Inspired by the Korean pantry, it combines gochujang, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, sesame oil and fresh pear, and gets reduced to a wonderfully sweet and sticky glaze. The cucumber and scallion salad makes for a cool and crunchy accompaniment.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red chile paste)
2 tablespoons peeled and grated ginger
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/2 pear, peeled, cored and grated on the large holes of a box grater
2 cloves garlic, finely grated
3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 pounds 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick crosscut bone-in beef short ribs (flanken style)
2 scallions, green part only, sliced thinly on the diagonal, plus additional for serving
1 hothouse cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1 to 2 teaspoons gochugaru (Korean red chile flakes) or 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, plus additional for serving
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Kosher salt
Serving suggestion: Steamed rice

Steps:

  • Whisk together the soy sauce, gochujang, ginger, brown sugar, pear, garlic, 2 tablespoons sesame oil and 1/4 cup water in a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Place the short ribs on top and follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 25 minutes (see Cook's Note). After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to a large bowl, then cover and set aside.
  • Set the pot to saute on high for 30 minutes and let reduce until the liquid is thick and glazy, about 15 minutes (about 1/2 cup of sauce will remain). Set the pot to off and transfer the reduced sauce to the meat, then toss to coat.
  • Meanwhile, toss the scallions, cucumber, rice vinegar, gochugaru, sesame seeds, granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining tablespoon sesame oil in a medium bowl and cover and chill until ready to serve.
  • For charred short ribs (optional): Position an oven rack as high as it can go in the oven and preheat the broiler to high. Transfer the glazed ribs to a rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and broil until lightly charred on both sides, about 1 minute per side.
  • Serve the ribs over steamed rice topped with the pickled cucumbers, additional scallions and sesame seeds.

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.

3 pounds short ribs, cut in 1/2-inch slices across the bones (flanken-style)
1/3 cup soy sauce

1/3 cup rice wine
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne or gochujang

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

SPARERIBS KOREAN STYLE



Spareribs Korean Style image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 to 4 pounds spareribs, cut into 2-inch sections
1/4 cup sesame seeds
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1/3 cup sugar
5 nickel-size pieces of ginger
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup chopped scallions

Steps:

  • Place a large skillet that can hold ribs in one layer over high heat. Add ribs and 1 cup water. Boil, turning ribs occasionally, until liquid has evaporated. Reduce heat to medium, and brown ribs in their own fat, turning occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, place sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium heat. Shake pan occasionally until seeds brown slightly and begin to pop.
  • Add garlic and half the sesame seeds to skillet with ribs, and stir. Cook 30 seconds. Add sugar, ginger, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil and 1/2 cup water. Turn heat to medium-high, and cook, turning ribs occasionally, until liquid is thick and dark. If ribs are tender at this point, they are ready. If not, add another 1/2 cup water and continue to cook until they are.
  • Add the salt and pepper to taste and the remaining sesame seeds and sesame oil. Stir the dish once, sprinkle with scallions, and serve.

Tips for Cooking Korean Ribs:

  • Choose the right ribs: Beef short ribs are the most commonly used cut for Korean ribs, but pork ribs or chicken wings can also be used.
  • Marinate the ribs: The marinade is what gives Korean ribs their signature flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that contains soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
  • Cook the ribs slowly: Korean ribs are best cooked slowly over low heat. This allows the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the meat and the ribs to become tender.
  • Baste the ribs regularly: Basting the ribs with the marinade or a mixture of honey and soy sauce helps to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the ribs with a variety of sides: Korean ribs are often served with rice, kimchi, and other banchan (side dishes).

Conclusion:

Korean ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make Korean ribs at home. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give Korean ribs a try. You won't be disappointed!
