Ingredients

Scale
  • 800 g LA Galbi meat (flanken-cut Korean BBQ short ribs) – 1.8 lb
  • 6 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 1/2 Tbsp dark brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp rice vinegar + sugar
  • 2 Tbsp grated apple (or Korean/Nashi pear)
  • 2 Tbsp grated onion
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp minced ginger
  • Ground black pepper – 4 sprinkles

Instructions

  • Soak ribs in cold water 15–30 min, changing water if cloudy.
  • Blend or whisk soy, sugar, vinegar, apple, onion, garlic, ginger, pepper into a marinade.
  • Pat ribs dry, place in container, pour marinade over, coating each piece.
  • Refrigerate 3–4 h (or overnight), turning ribs once or twice.
  • Remove from fridge 15–30 min before cooking.
  • Grill or broil over medium-high heat, 1–2 min per side, until caramelized.
  • Garnish with green onion, sesame seeds, or pine nuts; serve with rice, kimchi, lettuce, and ssamjang.

Notes

Asian pear tenderizes the meat best.

Adjust sweetness with extra brown sugar or honey to taste.

For broiling, line the tray with foil for easy cleanup.

Leftovers reheat quickly in a hot skillet.
