Galbi Ingredients:
- 500 g beef short ribs
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tbsp rice wine or mirin
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, chopped
Galbi Instructions:
Rinse the beef short ribs and pat them dry.
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, rice wine, and black pepper.
Add the ribs to the marinade and coat well.
Let the ribs marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the marinated ribs on the grill.
Cook for about 4–5 minutes on each side.
Turn occasionally until the ribs are cooked and slightly caramelized.
Remove from the grill and let them rest briefly.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top before serving.
Recipe Notes :
Marinating the ribs longer helps the flavors penetrate the meat.
Grilling over charcoal adds a deeper smoky flavor.
Cut flanken-style ribs cook faster and absorb marinade well.
Serve with lettuce leaves, rice, and Korean side dishes.
Sprinkle extra sesame seeds for added texture.
