Super easy and so good with a kiss of flame on the grill, these Korean Galbi Ribs are a must-try for any home cook who loves Korean flavors. Pair the ribs with a side of rice and a cucumber salad and boom, dinner is ready!
Blend the brown sugar, soy sauce, water, mirin, onion, cored Asian pear, garlic, and sesame oil in a food processor until smooth.
Place the Korean short ribs in a large resealable bag or shallow dish, then pour the marinade over the ribs. Ensure the ribs are well-coated, then seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your broiler to high.
Grill the ribs for about 3-4 minutes per side until they are nicely charred and cooked through, or put them under the broiler for the same amount of time.
Remove the ribs from the heat, let them rest for a few minutes, and serve hot.
Notes
Chef Jenn’s Tips
For the best flavor, marinate the ribs overnight.
Use an Asian pear for authenticity; it helps tenderize the meat.
If you don’t have a grill, use a broiler to achieve a similar effect.
Keep an eye on the ribs while cooking to avoid overcooking and drying them out.
