You don't post a picture of flanken cut short ribs and not expect a Korean BBQ recipe :) Actually, I was tinkering with a braised short rib recipe, but didn't have enough time to experiment, so I decided to go with the basic Korean Kalbi. It's simple and quick on the grill. What the recipe lacks in cooking time is made up in marinating time. I like to serve it with hot rice, flavored seaweed, and kimchi. - edamame2003

Fans of Korean barbecue, rejoice! Edamame2003 is here to show you how to make the real deal without a lot of sweat. The two-stage marinade -- featuring sake, pear or apple juice, Tamari, garlic and sesame, among other things -- is delightfully simple. After an overnight soak, the short ribs, sliced thin, cook in no time. Broiling worked well for us; despite the high heat, the meat still emerged tender and flavorful due to the long marinating time. The flavor is sweet, salty, a little boozy and a little nutty -- who could ask for more? – A&M
Directions
- Step 1
lay out the ribs in a single layer and pour sake and juice evenly over each rib. Turn over and do the same. Cover or place in a ziploc and marinate for at least 2 hours.
- Step 2
Mix the remaining ingredients and pour into the ziploc with the ribs.
- Step 3
Lay the bag of ribs as flat as possible so that the ribs can marinate evenly. Leave in the fridge at least overnight. (Sometimes I freeze the bags of ribs and defrost when I want to eat them).
- Step 4
Grill on medium heat, turning once. Or you can broil in the oven on both sides.
