Galbi
Charred, glossy short ribs with deep garlic soy sweetness and a nutty sesame finish.
Ingredients
- 700 g Beef Short Ribs
- 80 ml Korean Soy Sauce
- 1 pcs Asian Pear
- 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 6 pcs Garlic
- 2 tsp Ginger
- 3 pcs Scallions
- 1 tbsp Gochujang
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 2 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil
- 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds
- 100 g Kimchi
Method
- In a bowl, whisk {korean_soy_sauce}, grated {asian_pear}, {brown_sugar}, {garlic}, {ginger}, most of the {scallions}, {gochujang}, {black_pepper}, and half of the {toasted_sesame_oil} until glossy and fragrant.
- Pat {beef_short_ribs} dry so they caramelize instead of steam, then coat thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate until the meat smells deeply seasoned and the surface looks glossy.
- Toast {sesame_seeds} in a dry skillet over medium heat, shaking often, until golden and nutty. Tip out immediately so they do not scorch.
- Heat a grill pan or heavy skillet over high heat until very hot. Lift {beef_short_ribs} from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and grill in a single layer without crowding. Cook until deeply browned, lightly charred at the edges, and the thickest parts are cooked through, turning as needed so the sugars do not burn.
- Rest the grilled {beef_short_ribs} briefly so the juices settle and the surface stays lacquered.
- Slice the rested {beef_short_ribs} between the bones if needed, then finish with the remaining {scallions}, the remaining {toasted_sesame_oil}, and the toasted {sesame_seeds}. Serve with {kimchi} for bright crunch alongside.
