Description
Korean short ribs (aka galbi or kalbi) have a complex flavor with sweet, salty, fruity and umami notes. Add in smokiness from the grill and a delightful caramelized crust, and these marinated beef short ribs tick all the boxes.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 asian pear, peeled, cored and quartered
- 1 medium onion, quartered
- 8 garlic cloves
- 1-inch piece fresh gingerroot
- 3 pounds bone-in beef short ribs, cut flanken-style
- sesame seeds and sliced green onions
Directions
- In a 13x9-in. dish, combine the first 5 ingredients. Place pear, onion, garlic and ginger in a blender; process until smooth. Whisk into soy sauce mixture. Add ribs; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours.
- Drain and discard marinade. Grill ribs, covered, over medium heat 4-5 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
