Make Korean BBQ short ribs at home using my tried-and-tested recipe for the perfect galbi marinade. Yous tin can grill the marinated brusque ribs over charcoal, broil them in the oven, or pan-fry.

Yous tin can enjoy delicious Korean charcoal-broil at dwelling house. It'southward all about the marinade and expert quality meat, and information technology's easy to prepare! Galbi (or Kalbi, 갈비), Korean beef curt ribs, is 1 of the most pop charcoal-broil dishes in Korean homes, especially for special occasions and gatherings. Here's my tried-and-tested recipe for the perfect galbi marinade!

Marinated in a perfectly balanced sweet and savory sauce, the galbi meat is tender and succulent while even so beingness nicely browned and caramelized on the outside.

Beefiness brusk ribs

As I previously explained in another galbi postal service, there are two unlike cuts for beef brusk ribs. The first i is the English cutting, for which the ribs are separated and cut into brusque lengths. The English cut is used for galbi jjim (braised) or butterflied for grilling.

The second i is the flanken cut, for which the ribs are cut thin across the bones. To Koreans, the flanken cut is also known equally "LA galbi," supposedly named after the city where early Korean immigrants started to use this cut to make galbi gui (grilled short ribs). LA galbi is now highly popular even in Korea.

Galbi marindade

These days, people use all sorts of things to tenderize short ribs, which are a tough cut of meat, including kiwi, pineapple, cola, etc. My favorite isKorean/Asian pear, which is a traditional ingredient used for galbi. Grated onion and alcohol, in the marinade, likewise tenderize the meat. These ribs have a smooth balance of sugariness and savory flavors!

If you cannot find Asian pears, use an apple instead. If using kiwi or pineapple, employ a small corporeality so you don't over-marinate the meat as these are very strong tenderizing agents.

For convenience, you can blend the fruit, onion, garlic and ginger together in a mini blender.

Don't rush the marinating part! The ribs should actually be marinated for at least six – 8 hours. Overnight to 24 hours is better. The thicker the meat, the longer yous'll want to marinate.

It'south best to grill LA galbi over charcoal or forest charcoal (sootbul, 숯불), but a gas grill or a grill pan over the stove top works well too. I sometimes broil them in the oven or simply pan-fry.

To broil galbi in the oven, set the oven to broil and preheat. Lay the meat in a single layer in a broiling pan and place it on the top rack of the oven, unremarkably about 6 inches below the broiler. Melt until the ribs are slightly charred and caramelized, five to vi minutes. Flip them over and cook for an additional three – 4 minutes. Spotter closely not to burn down them.

What to serve with

Aside from rice, any of the traditional side dishes (banchan) on my site volition do, simply pickled dishes, such as pickled garlic and kkaennip kimchi, complement the fatty meat especially well.

I oftentimes serve the short ribs with fresh kimchi salad type of dishes, such as fresh kimchi or bok choi kimchi salad. Japchae always goes well with meat dishes besides. All the same can't decide? Check out my collection of xv Korean Vegetable Side Dishes.

Concluding but non least, as with any Korean BBQ, serve with red or green leaf lettuce in which to wrap the meat, forth with ssamjang (쌈장) or simply gochujang. Perilla leaves (kkaennip, 깻잎) and crown daisy (ssukgat, 쑥갓) are bully vegetables to add to your wraps, if available.
