Low-Sodium Kalbi image

I like to use boneless beef ribs for this, so I guess it's somewhere between kalbi and bulgogi. Don't be put off by the long ingredient list--it's really not at all difficult to make. You can use this marinade for kalbi (thin strips of beef short ribs), bulgogi (thinly sliced beef), or on chicken. This recipe freezes well, too, though I would recommend sticking with thicker cuts of meat to freeze.

Time 4h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 lbs boneless short ribs, rinsed & patted dry (or other meats as described above)
1 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup water
3 -4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup dark sesame oil
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted and crushed
fresh ground pepper
5 green onions, thinly sliced (including some of the tops)
1 fresh chili pepper, minced (optional)
1 1/2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce (gochu jang) or 1 1/2 tablespoons hot soybean paste (gochu jang)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except ribs in a 1 gallon ziplock bag. Add ribs and seal bag, squeezing out excess air.
  • Work sauce into ribs by kneading bag (be careful not to poke a hole in it).
  • Marinade several hours (no more than 4 if using very thin meat, such as for sukiyaki), or freeze.
  • To cook: If frozen, thaw first by placing in refrigerator the day before.
  • Drain meat, reserving marinade.
  • Grill over medium-hot coals until done to taste (time will vary depending on meat used).
  • Meanwhile, place reserved marinade in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
  • I like to serve this sliced, over rice topped with shredded cabbage (I use undressed coleslaw salad mix), with the sauce drizzled on top. Kimchi makes a good side dish, too.
