KOREAN BBQ SHORT RIBS (GAL-BI)



Korean BBQ Short Ribs (Gal-Bi) image

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.

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.

KALBI (KOREAN BBQ SHORT RIBS): AUTHENTIC RECIPE



Kalbi (Korean BBQ Short Ribs): Authentic Recipe image

After trying many recipes for homemade-style Korean BBQ, I finally found a great recipe from a friend who learned it from his mom. It's sweet, salty, spicy, and very tender (Thanks to the Coke®). I use this same recipe to make Bulgogi and Dae Ji Bool Gogi (Spicy Pork) and simply change the onions to sliced bulbs for the bulgogi.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 1/2 cups pineapple juice
1 1/2 cups lemon-lime soda, such as Sprite
1 1/2 cups mushroom soy sauce
1 cup rice wine vinegar
5 lemons, juiced
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons sriracha
15 Korean-style short rib pieces (see Cook¿s Note)
1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/4 cup diced carrots
1/4 cup diced Spanish onions
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 cup mushroom soy sauce
1 1/2 cups kimchi
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sliced scallions, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup peas
1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup shredded green cabbage
1/4 cup kimchi, roughly chopped
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon black sesame seeds, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • For the pineapple soy-glazed short ribs: Combine the pineapple juice, lemon-lime soda, mushroom soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, lemon juice, brown sugar, honey, garlic, sesame oil and sriracha in a medium mixing bowl. Add the ribs and marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  • Heat a grill pan over high heat. Strain the short ribs, reserving the marinade. Cook the ribs on the grill pan until dark caramelized grill marks appear, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Cut the ribs in between each bone to create square pieces.
  • Strain the reserved marinade through a fine mesh strainer and cook in a saute pan over high heat until reduced by half, about 6 minutes. Set aside for serving.
  • For the fried rice: Add the jasmine rice and 3 cups of water to a medium saucepot. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to medium low and let simmer until cooked, about 15 minutes.
  • Heat a saute pan over high heat. Add the sesame oil, carrots and onions and cook until caramelized and dark brown. Add the garlic and cook until dark brown. Add the soy sauce and cook, scraping up the bits from the bottom of the pan, until the soy sauce is reduced by half. Add the kimchi and eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and fluffy. Add the scallions and peas.
  • For the kimchi slaw: Combine the red cabbage, green cabbage, kimchi, rice wine vinegar, honey, mayonnaise and black sesame seeds in a medium bowl, using your hands to mix the ingredients until evenly distributed. Leave the mix out until ready to plate. Strain out excess liquid before serving.
  • To serve, spoon the fried rice on each plate in a 4-by-1-by-1/2-inch line. Layer 4 to 5 short ribs on top of the fried rice in a cascading fashion. Top the meat with the strained slaw. Finish with a drizzle of reduced marinade and sprinkle with some sesame seeds and scallions.
