Korean Marinated Short Ribs (LA Galbi) are a beloved dish at Korean BBQ restaurants, known for their tender, flavorful beef with sweet and savory notes. This recipe is ideal for outdoor grilling, family dinners, or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 1½ pounds beef short ribs, thinly sliced
  • 1 inch ginger, peeled
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ tablespoon sugar
  • ¼ cup mirin
  • ½ Korean pear (or apple)
  • ¼ white onion
  • 2 tablespoons sake or cooking wine
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or avocado oil for grilling

Garnish:

  • Green onions (optional)
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ribs: Remove the top membrane from the beef short ribs, wash them in cold water, and pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. Make Marinade: Blend ginger, garlic, soy sauce, salt, sugar, mirin, Korean pear, onion, sake, water, black pepper, and honey until smooth.
  3. Marinate: Coat the ribs with the marinade and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  4. Grill: Bring ribs to room temperature, grill for 2 minutes on each side over medium-high heat.
  5. Garnish: Serve with sesame seeds and green onions. Enjoy with rice or as lettuce wraps with kimchi and cucumber salad.

Notes

  • Removing the top membrane tenderizes the beef.
  • Soaking the ribs in water before marinating enhances flavor.
  • Bringing ribs to room temperature before grilling ensures even cooking.
  • Drain excess marinade to prevent splattering and ensure a good sear.
