Galbi for the week sits in the Beef section of Regbie. The card serves 6 people. Plan on 8 hours 30 minutes from the first measure to the plate. The amounts and the method are both written on this page.
Ingredients
Yield: 6 people
- 4 pounds Korean-style short ribs, (LA galbi or flanken-style)
- 1 kiwi, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 scallions, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 cup All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 1 head butter lettuce
Method
Soak the short ribs in cold water for fifteen minutes. Rinse the ribs of any small bone fragments and use paper towels to pat the short ribs dry before setting aside. (You can skip this step, but the cook think it helps reduce any grittiness.)
In a high powered blender, combine the kiwi, garlic, scallions, ginger, All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce, and toasted sesame oil to make the marinade. Blitz until smooth.
Tip the marinade over the ribs and toss well to coat. Lid the container and marinate the short ribs for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours in the fridge.
When you’re ready to cook the ribs, you have a few options: If you’re cooking the kalbi on the grill, heat your gas or charcoal grill to medium hot. Throw the short ribs on the grill and cook about 3 to 5 minutes per side or until your desired doneness is reached. No grill? Warm the broiler on high and arrange the top oven rack so that it’s 6 inches from the heating element. Lay out the kalbi in a single layer on top of a stainless steel wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet and pop them under the broiler. Leave for about 3 to 4 minutes per side or until you reach the desired doneness. Air Fryer? You can make small batches by putting them in a single layer at 400°F for 7 to 10 minutes, flipping at the halfway mark.
Finish with thinly sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Plate whole grilled kalbi pieces as a main course or use kitchen shears to cut the meat into smaller pieces to serve as a starter or party nibble.
Plate the kalbi with a bunch of butter lettuce leaves, Simple Cauliflower Rice , and kimchi—and have everyone assemble their own lettuce wraps!
