Ingredients
- 2 to 3 lbs of beef short ribs
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sesame oil
- 1/4 cup minced garlic (about 10 cloves)
- 2 tablespoons grated ginger
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Optional: 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste) for a kick!
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, black pepper, and sesame seeds. If you like it spicy, add in the gochujang.
- Place the beef short ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a glass dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the meat is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Arrange the short ribs on the baking sheet in a single layer, reserving the marinade.
- Bake the ribs for about 2 hours, flipping them halfway through and basting with the reserved marinade to keep them moist.
- Once they’re deliciously caramelized and fork-tender, take them out of the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve your kalbi hot, garnished with more chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Pair it with some steamed rice and veggies for a complete meal.
