KOREAN BRAISED SHORT RIBS (GALBI JJIM)

Steps:

• To make the sauce, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, fresh ginger, ground ginger, brown sugar, water, rice wine, pear, kiwi, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
• Fill a large stockpot with cold water. Soak the short ribs in the water for 30 minutes to 1 hour to pull out impurities. Drain. Score ribs by slicing shallow criss cross cuts across the meat.
• Fill the stockpot with clean water and bring to a boil. Simmer the short ribs in the water for 30 minutes. Drain. Return the simmered ribs to the pot; pour in the sauce, bring to a low boil. Simmer the ribs in the sauce for 60 minutes. Stir in the carrot, potatoes, green onions, yellow onion, chestnuts, and shiitake mushrooms. Simmer until vegetables are tender, at least 30 additional minutes.

KOREAN INSPIRED BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Pat dry the short ribs and season with salt and pepper on all sides.
• Next, add 1 tablespoon of oil to a dutch oven or soup pot. Sear the short ribs on all sides. Set them aside.
• Add the leeks, onion, daikon, and garlic to the pot. Cook until soft (~5 minutes).
• Add the gochujang, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, salt, and red wine. Mix and simmer until the alcohol has burned off. You can check if the alcohol's burned off by smelling it. If there is no alcohol smell, you're good.
• Add beef stock and bay leaves and bring to a boil. Nestle in the short ribs from step 3. Make sure the short ribs are fully submerged in the liquid.
• Bake in the oven for 3 - 3.5 hours until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.
• Garnish with cilantro and serve.

KOREAN-STYLE GINGER ALE-BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, brown the short ribs on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the ribs to a plate and clean the pot. Add the garlic, scallion whites and pale greens and remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the Dutch oven and cook over medium heat, stirring, until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until the color darkens, about 30 seconds. Add the Canada Dry Ginger Ale and soy sauce and bring to a boil, stirring to incorporate the tomato paste. Gently place the ribs and any accumulated juices in the pot. Cover and cook in the oven until fork-tender, about 1½ hours. Transfer the pot to the stovetop, uncover and cook over medium heat, spooning the sauce over the ribs occasionally so they don't dry out, until the sauce is very thick and glazes the ribs, 25 to 30 minutes more. Meanwhile, finely chop the scallion greens. Mix half of them together with the jalapeno, lime zest and sesame seeds in a small bowl. (Reserve the remaining greens for another use.) Transfer the ribs to a platter, sprinkle with the sesame mixture and serve with lettuce leaves, steamed rice and kimchi.

• Put puréed sauce in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven with a lid, add 3 cups water and stir to combine. Bring pot to a boil over high heat, then add the ribs to the pot and lower heat to a simmer. Cover pot.
• Cook ribs over low for at least 2 hours. Add vegetables, cover and simmer, 30 minutes more or so, until meat is tender and vegetables are cooked through. Serve warm.

• Soak beef short ribs in a large bowl of cold water to remove residual blood, about 30 minutes.
• Place short ribs, onion, ginger, and 2 cloves garlic in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, skimming any foam that floats to the top, 20 to 30 minutes. Measure out 2 cups of broth and reserve. Drain short ribs and rinse under cold water; discard onion, ginger, and garlic. Cool until easily handled.
• Make slits in each short rib to remove or cut away excess fat.
• Return short ribs to the pot. Add reserved broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, 4 minced garlic cloves, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Simmer over low heat until flavors combine, about 45 minutes. Add potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, chestnuts, and dates. Continue simmering until potatoes are tender and sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.

Reserve remaining sesame-seed powder for serving. Add short ribs to soy sauce mixture, rubbing mixture into them. Transfer ribs to a large sealable plastic bag and seal bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate, chilled, at least 8 hours.
• Transfer ribs to a wide 6- to 8-quart heavy pot and add water and ginger. Simmer, tightly covered, until ribs are very tender, about 3 hours.
• Transfer ribs to a platter using tongs and keep warm, covered with foil. Skim fat from sauce and pour sauce through a sieve lined with a dampened paper towel into a bowl, then discard solids.

Pour marinade over short ribs and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Bring to room temperature, drain and discard marinade.
• Cook short ribs on a hot grill or under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until nicely browned but juicy. Pile grilled meat on a platter and serve immediately with lettuce leaves on the side. Accompany with sliced hot peppers, ssamjang and steamed rice, if desired.

EASY SWEET & SAVORY KOREAN BBQ GRILLED BEEF SHORT RIBS (KAL

Steps:

• Rinse short ribs under the faucet to get rid of loose bone bits. Soak the short ribs in water for 10 minutes to drain out some of the blood. They can be soaked in a roasting pan, ziploc bag, or large bowl--- whatever container you would like to use for marinating.
• In your marinating container, combine sugar, water, soy sauce, sesame oil, onion, garlic, sesame seeds and scallions. Dissolve the sugar into the mixture as much as possible, but it will likely not become totally dissolved.
• Lay rib pieces in the marinade, dispersing onion slices between and on top of the meat and submerging the meat as much as possible.
• Let the beef marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes, and ideally overnight.
• Line the grill with foil and poke holes in the foil. On medium high heat, grill the short ribs 5-7 minutes on each side until the meat is cooked medium-well and the bones do not bleed. In my opinion, this particular dish is best with a bit of burnt edges and near-well-doneness.
• Serve with rice.
• Alternatively, add extra flair! Wash and break off whole leaves of red lettuce and place on a serving plate (note: red lettuce is not actually red and is widely available in grocery stores). In a small bowl, toss long thin slices of scallion with sesame oil and red pepper flakes. Serve short ribs cut into thirds or about 1 inch squares (kitchen shears work best). In a small dish, place spicy bean paste or hot sauce. To assemble, wrap each piece of meat in a red lettuce leaf with scallion mixture and a dot of the spicy sauce.
