[SheilaAnn]

Kalbi (Korean Barbequed Beef Short Ribs)
★★★★★
Beef
Prep Time: 20 min | Cook Time: 8 min | Difficulty: Easy | Servings: Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients:
5 pounds Korean style beef short ribs*
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup mirin (rice wine)
1 small onion, peeled and finely grated
1 small Asian pear, peeled and finely grated
4 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)

Directions:
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.

Love me some kalbi! I've not made it in quite some time. May have to pony up and spring for the $10 per pound flanken cut ribs at Sam's Club one day soon...

Thanks!!! I believe this will be a stupor bowl dish. I am tired of wings and regular pork ribs.

[Huskee]

I hear you on 'tired of regular pork ribs', they never wow me either and they can get old. And I'm told mine are really good, but still, meh.

I so wanted to pull the trigger on some flanken cut ribs at Costco on Saturday.
Alas, my family is not crazy about them for some reason. 🤷♂️

Love me Korean BBQ. I use to buy the ribs from a Korean market already marinated. Then it got me to thinking. I bet they add the marinade and then weigh the ribs.......

Make it myself now. So good. Enjoy.

There is something wrong with the Paprika file. Looks like it has an extension .gz that the App does not recognize.

UPDATE: Must have been an issue with how my iPad handled the link. I opened it in MS Edge and it downloaded just fine. Or, as Gilda Radner said, "Nevermind!".

[Donw]

On an iPad download to files and find it with the .gz extension. Find the downloaded file and tap once. The iPad will unzip it automatically and create a new file with the same name but with the extension of .paprikarecipe. This file can be imported.

SheilaAnn I love Korean short ribs but have never made them myself . Thank you! What goes well with them that I can make at home?

My family's favorite salad with Asian grilled chicken or Korean ribs is crispy lettuce, cut up oranges, avocado, green onions, cilantro and a good quality ginger seame dressing

[jgreen]

That sounds great. I use a similar marinade but have never tried it with Asian pear in the mix. I will definitely try that. Thanks!

@SheilaAnn I first saw and used this recipe in January of 2013, it was posted on the Big Green Egg site by VI (Village Idiot). I do it with outside skirt steak and it is delicious.

I serve with steam rice, braised baby book choy, dry fried green beans, cold sesame cucumbers…….

There are few things I love more than short ribs. Korean Kalbi with some smoke is incredible. I am gonna add this one to the list for sure. Thank you for sharing this with us!

I can't find Asian pears. Can I substitute Bosch or should I just leave them out?

[SheilaAnn]

klflowers Use the pears! Any pears! More times than not, I use the pears from Harry and David Christmas gift boxes. I shred them all, portion and freeze so I have them all year round. I am blessed to have a Korean market less than 10 minutes away, so I can get pears when I run out.
