Korean Kalbi Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, garlic, green onions, and sesame oil until the sugar has dissolved.
• Place the ribs in a large plastic zipper bag. Pour the marinade over the ribs, squeeze out all the air, and refrigerate the bag for 3 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove the ribs from the bag, shake off the excess marinade, and discard the marinade. Grill the ribs on the preheated grill until the meat is still pink but not bloody nearest the bone, 5 to 7 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Place ribs in a bowl and cover with water; soak until water turns pink, about 1 hour. Drain and rinse in cold water.
• Combine soy sauce, Asian pear, onion, garlic, and ginger in a food processor. Pulse until smooth.
• Combine green onions, sesame oil, brown sugar, sesame seeds, honey, and black pepper in a large bowl; mix well. Add ribs and coat thoroughly with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook ribs on the grill until slightly charred and tender, about 4 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Place the ribs in a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Soak ribs, refrigerated, for 1 hour to pull out any blood. Drain.
• Combine garlic, onion, and Asian pear in a blender and puree. Pour into a large bowl and stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, and black pepper. Marinate ribs in the soy mixture, covered, overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill ribs until the meat is tender and the outside is crusty, 5 to 10 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Mix together the soy sauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, wine, sesame oil, vegetable oil and garlic in a large bowl. Add the short ribs and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours (over-marinating will make the meat dry).
• Prepare a grill for high heat. Remove the short ribs from the marinade and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side (shorter if the short ribs are less than 1/3-inch thick).

Steps:

• Preparation: Sprinkle brown sugar over beef and mix well to evenly coat. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while preparing marinade. In a bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. Transfer beef into a large sealable freezer bag (you may need 2). Add marinade, press out excess air from bags, and seal. Turn bag over several times to ensure beef is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
• Heat gas or charcoal grill to medium-hot. Drain excess marinade off beef. Grill short ribs, turning once, to desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, if desired. Serve whole pieces as a main course or cut into smaller pieces, using kitchen shears, for a starter or party nibble.

Steps:

• Rinse short ribs in cold water, pat dry and place in a wide shallow bowl. In another bowl, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine, sesame oil, black pepper and cayenne.
• Put onion, 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. Bring to room temperature, drain and discard marinade.
• Cook short ribs on a hot grill or under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until nicely browned but juicy. Pile grilled meat on a platter and serve immediately with lettuce leaves on the side. Accompany with sliced hot peppers, ssamjang and steamed rice, if desired.

Steps:

• Combine cola beverage, white sugar, soy sauce, water, green onions, sesame oil, garlic, sesame seeds, and black pepper in a bowl until marinade is well-mixed.
• Place short ribs in a resealable plastic bag and pour in marinade. Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove short ribs from marinade, discarding marinade.
• Cook short ribs until browned and cooked to desired doneness, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• COMBINE the soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and green onions in a large slow cooker (at least 5 quarts). Stir until well blended.
• ADD the ribs and blend well. Cover and cook on high for 4 to 6 hours or on low for 8 to 10 hours. The meat should be fall-apart tender.
• SCOOP the meat out of the liquid and onto a platter and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
• SERVE the meat at the table with the lettuce cups, rice, and other accompaniments.
• To serve the kalbi later, Remove the meat from the liquid and refrigerate. Pour the liquid into a separate container and refrigerate. After the liquid has chilled, remove the fat layer from the top and discard. Moisten the meat with some of the defatted juice and reheat in a saucepan over medium-low heat, in the slow cooker, or in a covered baking dish at 350°F for 20 to 30 minutes.
