KALBI (KOREAN BARBEQUED BEEF SHORT RIBS)

Steps:

• Preparation: Sprinkle brown sugar over beef and mix well to evenly coat. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while preparing marinade. In a bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. Transfer beef into a large sealable freezer bag (you may need 2). Add marinade, press out excess air from bags, and seal. Turn bag over several times to ensure beef is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
• Heat gas or charcoal grill to medium-hot. Drain excess marinade off beef. Grill short ribs, turning once, to desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, if desired. Serve whole pieces as a main course or cut into smaller pieces, using kitchen shears, for a starter or party nibble.

Steps:

• Slice the beef as thinly as you can, then set aside in a large bowl. Using frozen or cold beef will make the slicing easier.

• Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. Pat the meat dry.
• Being careful not to crowd the pan, sear the marinated beef and onions until browned. Sprinkle with the sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
• Serve with rice and side dishes.
• Enjoy!

KOREAN BARBECUE BEEF, MARINADE 1

Steps:

• 1. Trim the fat off the beef with a knife. Distribute the sugar evenly on the beef by sprinkling it on each piece. Allow beef to sit for 10 minutes.
• 2. In a separate bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, sugar, sake, and black pepper. Put aside.
• 3. Massage the beef with the kiwi juice using your hands. The kiwi works as a tenderizer. Add the soy sauce mixture and mix. Allow the beef to marinate for 10 minutes. Because the beef is thin, it doesn't require a long marinating time. Now it is ready to be barbecued. Ideal if grilled over smoked wood but just as good in a frying pan or skillet. Cook until browned, being careful not to overcook.
• 4. Last, to prepare dipping sauce, combine all sauce ingredients and cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve on the side.

BIBIMBAP WITH GOCHUJANG-MARINATED BEEF

Steps:

• Whisk the soy sauce, gochujang, honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and half of the garlic together in a medium bowl. Transfer 3 tablespoons of the soy marinade to a small bowl and set aside for serving.
• Add the beef to the remaining marinade and toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients. (The beef will absorb most of the marinade so there won't be a need to strain at the end.)
• Meanwhile, stir the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil, remaining 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and remaining garlic together in a small bowl until combined. Fill a large pot two-thirds full of salted water and bring to a boil. Add the spinach and cook until just tender, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Drain, let cool, and squeeze the spinach dry. Coarsely chop the spinach and transfer it to a medium bowl. Toss with half of the sesame sauce and season with salt if desired. Set aside until ready to serve.
• Toss the cucumber in a small bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar and remaining sesame marinade; season with salt. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat until the oil shimmers. Add the sprouts and season with salt. Cook the sprouts, tossing often, until translucent and crisp tender, about 2 minutes. Place in a mound on a serving platter.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat. Add the carrot, season with salt and cook, tossing often, until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Place in a mound on the platter.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in same skillet over high heat. Add the bell pepper, season with salt and cook, tossing often, until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Place in a mound on the platter.
• If making fried eggs, heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in same skillet over high heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, leaving space around each one, and cook until the whites are set and the edges are crisp, about 3 minutes. Season with salt; transfer to a plate.
• Working in 2 batches, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in same skillet over high and cook the marinated beef, turning once, until browned on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per batch, adding another tablespoon of oil to the skillet between batches. Transfer each batch to the platter. Add the cucumbers to the platter.
• Divide the rice among 4 bowls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions. Serve the platter of ingredients for everyone to compose their own bowls. Pass the reserved soy marinade.
