Korean Short Ribs

Korean
Galbi (Korean Short Ribs) is well known as the popular dish served for Korean BBQ. Galbi which translates to ribs is a thin cross-cut short rib that is deliciously sweet and salty in flavor. The ribs are typically cooked over a hot grill served with rice and lots of side dishes called banchan. The best way to eat korean bbq is to wrap the meat in lettuce and dip it in a spicy ssamjang sauce.

5lbs Korean Short Ribs


Marinade

1 Cup Brown Sugar

1 Cup Water

1 Cup Korean Pear Juice

1 Cup Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce

¼  Cup of Corn Syrup

¼  Cup of Sake 

12 Garlic Cloves (Smashed)

1 TBSP Sesame Oil

½ tsp Black Pepper

½ Kiwi (Smashed)


directions

One

Rinse the ribs in cold water to remove the blood and bone fragments.

Two

In a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients sugar, water, pear juice, soy sauce, corn syrup, sake, garlic, sesame oil, black pepper, and kiwi. Mix well and set aside.

Three

Place your choice of meat into a casserole dish and pour the mixture over the galbi. Make sure that the ribs are fully submerged in the marinade.  For best results refrigerate overnight.

Four

Grill galbi over medium high heat until meat is cooked.

Five

Serve with rice, banchan (korean side dishes), lettuce leaves, and a spicy sauce ssamjang.


Notes

Korean Pear Juice can be substituted for 1 Fresh Asian Pear (Grated). I prepare it both ways depending on the availability.

I prefer Sake over Mirin for this recipe because it contains a lower sugar content.
