Marinated Short Ribs

Galbi

Ingredients

1.5kg beef short ribs (LA galbi cut), 1/2 Asian pear, 1/2 onion, 6 garlic cloves, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp sesame seeds, black pepper, scallions

Detail Steps and Procedure

Prepare Ribs (Time: 0-60 minutes): Soak 1.5kg LA galbi (thinly sliced cross-cut short ribs) in cold water 1 hour. Change water every 20 minutes to remove blood. Drain, pat dry with paper towels. Make Marinade (Time: 60-70 minutes): Blend 1/2 Asian pear (peeled, cored), 1/2 onion, 6 garlic cloves until smooth. In bowl, mix pear puree with 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp black pepper. Marinate (Time: 70 minutes + 4 hours): Place ribs in large ziplock bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over, massage to coat evenly. Refrigerate minimum 4 hours, preferably overnight (up to 24 hours). Grill (Time: 4 hours 0-15 minutes): Heat grill to medium-high (200°C). Remove ribs from marinade, shake off excess. Grill 3-4 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through. Don’t overcrowd – cook in batches. Serve (Time: 4 hours 15-20 minutes): Sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions. Serve with lettuce leaves, rice, ssamjang, garlic slices, and green chilies.
