EASY SWEET & SAVORY KOREAN BBQ GRILLED BEEF SHORT RIBS (KAL
This is probably the best homemade Korean grilled beef dish EVER, no exaggeration. I guess you can think of it as a Korean-style beef teriyaki. It is my daughter's favorite way to eat meat and I've never met an American who didn't like it. I was surprised not to find any other kalbi recipe on the zaar, though there are many for braised short ribs and the other korean bbq beef, bulgogi. Kalbi is simple and delicious. Growing up, I typically only had kalbi on special occasions, family holiday dinners, church picnics, and the like. In a restaurant, it can get very pricey but it's a real treat of an experience to have kalbi cooked right at the table and have all sorts of side dishes to eat with it. This recipe is also very flexible: easily doubled; any sweeteners can work in place of sugar (pear juice, honey, brown sugar); easily fried in a skillet or broiled in the oven or grilled... You can serve with just rice, or go all out restaurant-style and serve with red lettuce leaves for wrapping, spicy bean paste, slices of garlic cloves, sliced up scallions and kimchi. It's up to you! The only important thing to remember is the proportion of sugar to soy sauce to water that will result in the best combination of sweet and savory. Prep time does not include marinating time.

Steps:
- Rinse short ribs under the faucet to get rid of loose bone bits. Soak the short ribs in water for 10 minutes to drain out some of the blood. They can be soaked in a roasting pan, ziploc bag, or large bowl--- whatever container you would like to use for marinating.
- In your marinating container, combine sugar, water, soy sauce, sesame oil, onion, garlic, sesame seeds and scallions. Dissolve the sugar into the mixture as much as possible, but it will likely not become totally dissolved.
- Lay rib pieces in the marinade, dispersing onion slices between and on top of the meat and submerging the meat as much as possible.
- Let the beef marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes, and ideally overnight.
- Line the grill with foil and poke holes in the foil. On medium high heat, grill the short ribs 5-7 minutes on each side until the meat is cooked medium-well and the bones do not bleed. In my opinion, this particular dish is best with a bit of burnt edges and near-well-doneness.
- Serve with rice.
- Alternatively, add extra flair! Wash and break off whole leaves of red lettuce and place on a serving plate (note: red lettuce is not actually red and is widely available in grocery stores). In a small bowl, toss long thin slices of scallion with sesame oil and red pepper flakes. Serve short ribs cut into thirds or about 1 inch squares (kitchen shears work best). In a small dish, place spicy bean paste or hot sauce. To assemble, wrap each piece of meat in a red lettuce leaf with scallion mixture and a dot of the spicy sauce.

GRILLED KOREAN BBQ BEEF SHORT RIBS
Steps:
- Make the marinade: Combine the soy sauce, cola, brown sugar, garlic, pear and sesame oil in a large bowl. Stir together with a whisk or fork until the sugar is dissolved and the garlic is distributed evenly.
- Marinate the short ribs: Add the short ribs to the marinade and massage it into the beef. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours.
- Heat a grill pan or grill over high heat for at least 5 minutes. Wipe the grill pan or grill grates with a lightly oiled towel right before cooking to remove any char and debris. (This will give you great grill marks and help the beef from sticking.) Working in batches, pat any excess marinade off the short ribs and grill in a single layer for 4 minutes per side, or to your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and garnish with the scallions and sesame seeds.
KOREAN KALBI (BBQ BEEF SHORT RIBS)
Steps:
- 1. Soak the ribs in cold water for about an hour or until coloration of the water turns pinkish red. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside. 2. Combine soy sauce, pear, garlic, ginger, and onion into a food processor. Pulse until smooth. 3. In a large mixing bowl (the ribs will be added here later), combine all the sauce ingredients and mix well. Add the beef short ribs and coat thoroughly. 4. Cover the ribs with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. 5. If using a grill, heat the grill to high. Remove short ribs from marinade and grill short ribs until slightly charred and tender and cooked to desired preference. Serve short ribs with white rice and kimchi. 6. If using a stove top, add the short ribs to a non-stick frying pan on medium-high heat. Cook about 5 minutes on each side or until slightly charred. Serve with rice and accompanying side dishes. Enjoy! *If serving small children (and wanting to prevent a mess), it's best to cut the meat off the bone and slice into bite-size pieces. The dark marinade can stain clothes so be careful.

Steps:
- 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. * NOTE: Korean-style short ribs can be found at most Asian markets. The cut, also known as "flanken," refers to a strip of beef cut across the bone from the chuck end of the short ribs. Unlike American and European-style short ribs, which include a thick slice of bone-in beef, Korean-style short ribs are cut lengthwise across the rib bones. The result is a thin strip of meat, about 8 to10 inches in length, lined on 1 side with 1/2-inch thick rib bones. The thin slices make for fast cooking on the grill.
