Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients except for the ribs and green onions to a blender and blend on high speed until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a plastic zip bag and completely submerge the ribs in the marinade.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for 12 hours or overnight.
- Add the ribs from the marinade to a hot grill between 450° and 550° and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until dark grill marks have formed.
- Remove from the grill, garnish with optional additional sesame seeds and sliced green onions, and serve right away.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can make these up to 1 hour ahead of time. Keep them warm, covered in foil, and in the oven at low temperatures, between 200° and 250°.
- How to Store: Store these ribs covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The ribs will actually freeze well covered for up to 3 months. See the reheating instructions above.
- How to Reheat: To reheat the kalbi, simply place them back on a hot grill for just a few minutes per side to heat up.
- You can also add one teaspoon of salt and two tablespoons of regular sugar to the marinade to make it more intense in flavor.
- Don’t marinate them for more than 24 hours.
- Kalbi is traditionally served with lettuce, leafy vegetables, and perilla.
- The marinade will last up to 4 days if you choose not to marinate the short ribs right away.
