Easy Korean Barbecue Beef Short Ribs

These finger lickin' ribs are so easy to grill or broil, and they're amazingly delicious thanks to a flavorful marinade. The ribs are cut across the bone flanken-style, and have more the appearance of thin steaks than traditional short ribs. The Korean name for this recipe is Kalbi or Galbi, depending on who you ask. It's no wonder these incredibly succulent ribs are now surging in popularity in the U.S.

These are so easy to make, and they cook fast since the cut is thin. Simply marinate the meat in the Sauce, cook them in less than 10 minutes over a hot grill or under the broiler, and they're ready to eat.

Easy Korean Barbecue Beef Short Ribs Recipe

Ingredients

• 4-5 lbs. flanken-cut beef short ribs (1/2 in. thick or less)

Sauce :

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic (6 cloves)
• 2 tablespoons minced ginger
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 3 green onions, chopped (1/3 cup)

Directions
make the sauce:

• Peel and grate the ginger. I use a spoon to easily scrape the peel off and a microplane to finely grate the ginger.
• Chop the onions. Use both the white and green parts.
•  Mince the garlic. Use a knife or garlic press.
• Add all ingredients to a bowl and whisk. Keep whisking until the sugar is dissolved.
• In medium bowl, whisk ingredients together until sugar is dissolved. Cover and refrigerate until use

marinade the ribs :

• Arrange ribs in shallow pan/dish. Reserve 3/4 cup of marinade in separate container--cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining 1-3/4 cups marinade over meat, toss to coat all sides, cover meat and allow to marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours and as long as overnight--longer is better, if you have the time. (Alternatively, ribs can marinate in a large plastic Ziploc bag.)
• Remove ribs from marinade, shaking off extra liquid. Cook ribs on hot grill or under oven broiler for 3-4 minutes on each side. They should be nicely browned on the outside, but still slightly pink inside and juicy. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
• Serve extra marinade/sauce on the side to drizzle more over ribs, if desired. Sauce is also good drizzled over steamed rice or vegetables.
• To reheat leftover ribs:  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F, arrange ribs on a baking sheet in a single layer, heat uncovered 8-10 minutes, just until heated through.
