**Kalbi: Korean Marinated Beef Short Ribs**

Korean cuisine is globally famous for its distinct flavors and diverse dishes, and among its most renowned offerings is kalbi, also known as Korean barbecue beef short ribs. These delectable ribs are marinated in a savory blend of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and other seasonings, resulting in a rich and flavorful taste that tantalizes the senses. Kalbi is typically grilled or roasted, allowing the marinade to caramelize and create a beautiful crust while keeping the meat tender and juicy. This article provides two enticing recipes for kalbi: a classic version and a spicy variation with gochujang (Korean chili paste) for those who prefer a bolder flavor profile.

**Classic Kalbi:**

This recipe stays true to the traditional method of preparing kalbi. The beef short ribs are marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, brown sugar, green onions, and black pepper. The ribs are then grilled or roasted until tender and caramelized. The result is a classic Korean barbecue dish that is both savory and slightly sweet, with a hint of smokiness from the grilling process.

**Spicy Gochujang Kalbi:**

For those who crave a more vibrant and fiery flavor, this recipe incorporates gochujang, a staple ingredient in Korean cuisine. The marinade includes gochujang along with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, brown sugar, green onions, and black pepper. The gochujang adds a spicy kick and a deep red color to the ribs. The ribs are then grilled or roasted, resulting in a tantalizingly spicy and flavorful dish that is sure to satisfy your taste buds.

These two recipes provide options for both classic and adventurous palates, making them perfect for any occasion. Whether you prefer the traditional taste of kalbi or enjoy the heat of gochujang, these dishes will undoubtedly leave you craving for more.

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.

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!
