Best Korean Short Rib Kebabs Recipes

KALBI (KOREAN BBQ SHORT RIBS)

Steps:

• Blend the marinade. Combine all ingredients, except for the beef ribs, green onions, and sesame seeds in a blender jar with a tight fitting lid. Blend on high until the marinade is totally smooth.
• Marinate the ribs. Place the sliced beef ribs, one at a time in a gallon zip top bag, pouring some of the marinade in between each rib as you place it in the bag. This will ensure that the ribs are evenly marinated. Place the bag in the fridge and marinate for at least 8 hours, or up to 24 hours, turning and massaging the bag halfway through the marinade time.
• Preheat the grill. Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450-500 degrees F). Charcoal is my favorite grill to use for this recipe, but it also works on a gas grill or a grill pan.
• Grill the short ribs. Slowly remove each short rib from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip away. Set each rib directly on the grill grates, without letting them overlap. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, developing nice char marks on each side of the ribs. Use an internal thermometer to check for doneness and pull the ribs off of the grill when they reach 130 degrees F.
• Garnish and serve. Arrange the grilled ribs on your serving platter and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!

QUICK COOK KOREAN SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• For the short ribs: Whisk together the soy sauce, rice wine, brown sugar, sesame oil, gochujang and black pepper in a large bowl. Puree the garlic, onion, Asian pear and ginger in a food processor until smooth. Whisk into the soy mixture, then thin down with 1/3 cup water. Stir in the sesame seeds. Submerge the beef in the marinade and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight, if time allows.
• Remove the beef from the marinade and discard the marinade. Let the chill come off the beef for 30 minutes prior to grilling.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Sprinkle the short ribs with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Place on the grill and cook until deeply charred on both sides, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove to a platter to rest while you make the salad.
• For the banh mi salad: Whisk together the granulated sugar, rice vinegar, chile flakes and lime juice in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper, then add the cabbage, cilantro, mint and scallions, tossing to thoroughly coat.

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.
