LA Galbi (Korean BBQ Short Ribs)
Description
LA Galbi short ribs are prepared by first soaking to draw out blood and impurities, then drying and marinating them in a sauce combining soy sauce, dark brown sugar, rice wine, grated apple or pear, onion, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. The fruit in the marinade helps tenderize the meat while adding subtle sweetness. The ribs are marinated for several hours or overnight for deeper flavor and tenderness.
The ribs are grilled, pan-fried, or oven-cooked to develop a caramelized crust while keeping the interior juicy. This Korean BBQ dish is known for its balanced sweet and savory profile and tender texture from the thinly cut short ribs.
For best results, allow the marinated meat to reach room temperature before cooking, and turn the ribs periodically during grilling to ensure even doneness.
Ingredients
- 800 g beef short ribs 1.8 pounds), This is available at a Korean grocery store or at a Korean butcher, Korean BBQ style, LA Galbi meat
- 7 Tbsp soy sauce
- 3 1/2 Tbsp dark brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp rice wine
- 2 Tbsp apple Royal gala, fuji or pink lady is suitable. However if you can substitute the apple with Korean/Nashi pear that is even better, grated
- 2 Tbsp onion grated
- 1 1/2 Tbsp garlic minced
- 1/3 tsp ginger minced
- 4 prinkles black pepper ground
Instructions
- Soak the meat in cold water for 1 hour to get rid of the blood. Change the water a couple of times as it releases debris (blood and floating fat).
- While waiting, mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl. (You can use a blender to quicken the process).
- One hour later, pat-dry the meat with some kitchen paper. Then put it into a sealable container. Pour out the sauce onto the meat and mix them with a spoon to thoroughly season. Close the lid.
- Marinade the meat for at least 3 to 4 hours in the fridge. Turn the meat over a couple of times during marination, so that the meat gets seasoned thoroughly. (You can also marinade overnight in the fridge to give extra tenderness and flavour. It does make a difference.)
- Take out the meat from the fridge 15 to 30 mins prior to cooking.
- Cook the meat (on a BBQ grill or a skillet or in the oven) and when both sides of the meat are cooked per your preference, serve and enjoy! – refer the note below for my preferred cooking method
