GALBI (KOREAN-STYLE SHORT RIBS)



Galbi (Korean-Style Short Ribs) image

This dish, known as galbi, is a fine thing to eat in a restaurant, but it also makes for a wonderful and easy meal at home. If you buy English-style short ribs, which are cut along the bone, you must butterfly the meat into a thin, long strip. If the ribs you buy are flanken-style, in which a band saw is used to cut across the ribs, creating half-inch slices of beef dotted with three little bones, rinse them under cold water before seasoning to remove any bone fragments. It's a good idea to let the ribs marinate for at least two hours to allow the seasoning to penetrate; marinating overnight is even better.

  • 2. Put onion, chile pepper, garlic, pear and ginger in the work bowl of a food processor. Grind ingredients to a smooth purée, then add to soy sauce mixture. Add sesame seeds. Thin with ¼ cup water. Pour marinade over short ribs and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality short ribs: Look for ribs that are well-marbled and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid ribs that are too thin or have a lot of bone.
  • Marinate the ribs for at least 24 hours: This will help the ribs to absorb the flavors of the marinade and make them more tender. You can marinate the ribs in a refrigerator or at room temperature, but be sure to keep them covered.
  • Cook the ribs over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the ribs from drying out or burning. You can cook the ribs on a grill, in an oven, or even in a slow cooker.
  • Cook the ribs until they are fall-off-the-bone tender: This will usually take about 2-3 hours, but it may vary depending on the method of cooking and the thickness of the ribs.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for Korean-style short ribs include rice, noodles, vegetables, and kimchi.

Conclusion:

Korean-style short ribs, also known as galbi, are a delicious and popular dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The ribs are marinated in a flavorful sauce and then grilled or roasted until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. They can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, vegetables, or kimchi. If you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make Korean dish, be sure to try Korean-style short ribs.
