5 pounds Korean style beef short ribs*
1 cup brown sugar, packed

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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of ingredients in your marinade to create a complex flavor profile. Common ingredients include soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
  • Be sure to marinate your kalbi for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat and tenderize it.
  • When cooking your kalbi, be sure to preheat your grill or pan to a high temperature. This will help to sear the meat and prevent it from sticking.
  • Cook your kalbi for a few minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired doneness. Be careful not to overcook it, as this will make the meat tough.
  • Serve your kalbi with a variety of dipping sauces, such as soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, or gochujang sauce.

Conclusion:

Kalbi is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are grilling it, pan-frying it, or baking it, there are many different ways to prepare kalbi. With its bold and flavorful marinade, kalbi is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
