Description

This galbi recipe for Korean BBQ uses flanken-cut short ribs soaked in a sweet sesame soy marinade, then grilled for a tender, delicious meaty dish.

Ingredients

5 pounds beef short ribs, cut flanken style
1 Asian pear, cored and cubed
1 onion, coarsely chopped
5 cloves garlic
1 cup soy sauce (such as Kikkoman®)
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup sesame oil
black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Place ribs in a large pot and cover with cold water. Soak ribs in the refrigerator for 1 hour to pull out any blood. Drain.
2 Combine Asian pear, onion, and garlic in a blender; blend until smooth. Pour into a large bowl and stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, and black pepper. Add ribs to soy mixture; turn to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
3 Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
4 Remove ribs from marinade and cook on the preheated grill until meat is tender and the outside is crusty, 5 to 10 minutes per side. Discard marinade.
