KOREAN SHORT RIB KEBABS

When Martha made this recipe on Cooking School episode 411, she used bone-in short ribs and omitted the skewers. She also doubled the marinade but did not use any apple juice. Hot kimchi (store-bought is fine) is great with the sweet, gingery ribs.

KOREAN CHILLI, SESAME & HONEY CHICKEN

A kebab always goes down well at a BBQ, and this Korean chicken with sweet, spicy and sticky glaze is our new favourite. Scatter over spring onions to serve

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Supper

Time 35m

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 chicken thighs , boneless and skinless
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
thumb-sized piece ginger , grated
4 spring onions , sliced
4 tbsp Korean chilli paste (gochujang) or use a mixture of 3 tbsp ketchup and 1 tbsp sriracha chilli sauce
2 tbsp honey
juice ½ lime
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Toss the chicken in the soy sauce, sesame oil and ginger. Thread each thigh on two long metal skewers, so that each skewer pierces one side of the thigh. Keep threading the chicken, making sure it's packed onto the skewers tightly. Chill until you're ready to cook. Mix the ingredients for the glaze.
  • Heat the BBQ. If using a coal BBQ, wait for the coals to turn ashen before you start cooking. Cook the kebab for 5-8 mins on each side (depending on the heat). Once nicely charred but not fully cooked through, start painting on the glaze. The honey will catch if cooked for too long - the key to nice sticky chicken is applying the glaze in layers, turning the kebab often.
  • Once the glaze has been used up and the chicken is cooked through (it'll take about 20 mins in total), transfer to a plate and leave to cool for 5 mins before serving scattered with spring onions.

KOREAN BEEF KABOBS (ASIAN)



Korean Beef Kabobs (Asian) image

I've been making this dish for years and it never fails to draw rave reviews. Using a good cut of meat is key, so it will be very tender. I use beef tenderloin or sirloin (choice at the minimum). The longer you marinate the beef the better the flavor (over night at a minimum). Cooking time does not include time to marinate.

Categories     Meat

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs beef, chunks (cut 2-inch thick)
1 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sesame oil
1/4 cup cooking sherry
1/4 cup sugar
1 bunch green onion
2 garlic cloves

Steps:

  • Cut tenderloin or sirloin beef up into big chunks (2" x 2" cubes). Score 1/4' deep all sides with a sharp knife (several slices per side). Using a two prong fork, pierce the meet repeatedly on all sides (3 or 4 times per side). This will allow the juices to work their way deep into the meat.
  • Chop the scallions (just the white part) and mince the garlic.
  • Add all the ingrediences together and pour over the meat in a non-reactive container. I use a large zip lock bag.
  • Marinate the meet for at least 12 hrs (24 is best).
  • Place the meat on skewers with your choice of veggies in between. I like onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
  • Grill over hot coals turning occasionally and brushing often with remaining marinade. Cook to desired doneness.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality meat. The better the quality of the meat, the better the kebabs will be. Look for meat that is fresh and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a variety of spices in your marinade. This will give the kebabs a complex and flavorful taste.
  • Cook the kebabs over high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the kebabs while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Serve the kebabs with a variety of dipping sauces. This will allow your guests to customize their kebabs to their liking.

Conclusion:

Korean kebabs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are hosting a party or just looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, Korean kebabs are sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting recipe to try, give Korean kebabs a try. You won't be disappointed!
