Recipe video above. This is an excellent Korean barbecue marinade that will work with pork, chicken or even lamb. And while it's delicious cooked on the stove, a BBQ will better replicate the true Korean barbecue experience!Do not worry about overcooking the thin slices of beef. The marinade is magical, it keeps the thin slices of beef incredibly tender even if you cook it for over 10 minutes which would ordinarily turn the beef into inedible dry cardboard!

Provided by JinJoo Lee

Categories     Beef

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 lb Korean Short Ribs - LA Cut
1 medium onion ((about 4 oz / 120 g))
1/2 cup water
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup red wine
1 cup sugar
6-8 large garlic cloves ((40 g))
3 green onions
4 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
1 tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp green plum syrup ((optional))

Steps:

  • Rinse ribs under water to remove any bits of bone. Drain. Trim any chunks of fat but most of the fat will melt away during grilling time. These ribs were good quality ones with minimal fat. Drain washed ribs.
  • While ribs are draining, cut onion into chunks or just half, if onion is small. Cut green onions into shorter lengths to fit into the blender. Here's all the ingredients for the marinade to go into the blender.
  • In a blender or chopper, add onion and 1/2 cup water. Blend until smooth.
  • Add remaining 1 cup soy sauce, 1/2 c red wine, 1 c sugar, garlic cloves, green onions, 4 T sesame oil, 1 T sesame seeds, 1 tsp pepper and optionally 2 T green plum syrup (if you want to).
  • Blend until smooth.
  • In a container, add Kalbi pieces and the marinade. Mix everything so each piece is evenly coated.
  • Let ribs marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hr to overnight. If you are in a hurry, even 30 minutes will work.
  • Take ribs out of the fridge and heat your oven broiler for 5 minutes. Lay out your Kalbi on a metal grill pan and broil it on the top rack for 4 minutes for the first side. Then turn it over and grill another 3 minutes on the other side.
  • Serve immediately with rice and other Korean side dishes.

KALBI (KOREAN MARINATED SHORT RIBS)



Kalbi (Korean Marinated Short Ribs) image

On my half-day off, I decided to relax by making my favorite Korean meat dish, kalbi (marinated short ribs). Serve with white rice and kimchi. If serving small children (and wanting to prevent a mess), it's best to cut the meat off the bone and slice into bite-sized pieces. The dark marinade can stain clothes, so be careful.

KALBI (MARINATED SHORT RIBS)



Kalbi (Marinated Short Ribs) image

Kalbi (KAHL-bee): A traditional Korean BBQ meat dish, kalbi is marinated short ribs (either on the bone or cut into pieces) cooked on a grill.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup soy sauce
1 Korean pear or Asian pear, grated with juices
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1/2 small white onion, grated or sliced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon ground red pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 (20-ounce) bottle lemon-lime soda, optional (recommended: Sprite or 7-Up)
4 pounds short ribs
Cooked white rice
Prepared kimchee (available at Korean grocers)

Steps:

  • For the marinade: Whisk together all the marinade ingredients in a large baking dish. Add the ribs and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight; it is best if marinated overnight.
  • For serving: Heat grill to high. Remove short ribs from marinade and grill short ribs until slightly charred and tender and cooked to desired degree of doneness. Serve short ribs with white rice and kimchee.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality short ribs for the best flavor and texture. Look for ribs that have good marbling and are a deep red color.
  • Make sure to marinate the ribs for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • When grilling the ribs, cook them over indirect heat to prevent them from drying out. You can use a charcoal grill, gas grill, or even a smoker.
  • Cook the ribs until they are tender and fall off the bone, but not so long that they become dry. The internal temperature of the ribs should be at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Kalbi, or Korean marinated short ribs, is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion.
