Kalbi (Korean BBQ Short Rib)

Rich and flavorful. Short ribs are first marinated in a sweet and savory sauce and then grilled or pan seared. If you can’t find short ribs in your local supermarket, you can still use the same marinade for a variety of meats of your choice. Kalbi is my go to dish when I visit a Korean restaurant. Now you can try this dish without leaving home. Let’s get started.

Ingredients:

3 pounds of short ribs

1 small onion (finely chopped)

1 cup of soy sauce

1/2 cup of sugar

1/4 cup of mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)

6 cloves of garlic (minced)

2 teaspoons of sesame oil

1/4 teaspoon of black pepper

Directions:

Coat the short ribs with sugar and leave for 10 minutes.

In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, mirin, onion, garlic, black pepper, and sesame oil to create the marinade.

Spread the marinade all over short ribs and leave covered in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Heat skillet over medium high heat and pan sear each side for about 3 minutes until fully cooked. Plate and ready to serve.
