Ingredients
- 3 lbs beef short ribs
Marinade
- 1 Korean pear peeled and cored (about 400 g)
- 1 medium yellow onion peeled (about 350 g)
- 9 cloves garlic
- 1 inch ginger about 2 teaspoons
- ½ cup water or pineapple juice
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup mirin
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
Serve
- Green onion sliced
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Kimchi
- Lettuce
- White Rice
Instructions
- Clean the ribs. Rinse the ribs and soak them for 20 minutes in cold water to remove any excess blood and debris.
- Make the marinade. In a blender, add the Korean pear, yellow onion, garlic cloves, ginger, and water. Blend until pulverized. Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl, add the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, sesame oil, and black pepper, and mix until combined and the sugar has dissolved.
- Marinate. Place the short ribs in a shallow container with a lid, and pour the marinade over the meat. Marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight up to 24 hours.
- Cook the ribs. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Once the skillet is hot, add the short ribs in a single layer, removing any excess marinade, and sear the ribs for 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
- Serve. Garnish the galbi with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve with kimchi and lettuce or white rice.
