Ingredients

  • 800 g LA Galbi meat (Korean BBQ short ribs) (1.8 pounds), This is available at a Korean grocery store or at a Korean butcher.
  • 7 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 1/2 Tbsp dark brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp rice wine
  • 2 Tbsp grated apple , (Royal gala, fuji or pink lady is suitable. However if you can substitute the apple with Korean/Nashi pear that is even better)
  • 2 Tbsp grated onion
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic 
  • 1/3 tsp minced ginger
  • 4 prinkles ground black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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).
  2. While waiting, mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl. (You can use a blender to quicken the process).
  3. 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.
  4. 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.)
  5. Take out the meat from the fridge 15 to 30 mins prior to cooking.
  6. 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
