Authentic Korean Galbi

Ingredients

• Vegetable oil (1 tablespoon)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
• Sesame seeds (1 tablespoon)
• Green onions (2, finely chopped)
• Ginger (1 inch piece, grated)
• Garlic (4 cloves, minced)
• Sesame oil (2 tablespoons)
• Brown sugar (1/4 cup)
• Soy sauce (1 cup)
• Beef short ribs (2 lbs)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, thoroughly combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, finely chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Place the beef short ribs in a large ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure all ribs are well-coated. Seal the bag and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. For best results, marinate overnight.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. Take out the short ribs from the bag, shaking off excess marinade. Discard the remaining marinade, as it should not be reused.
5. Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent the ribs from sticking.
6. Grill the short ribs for about 3-4 minutes per side, until they are nicely charred and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
7. Once done, remove the short ribs from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful bite.
8. Serve the galbi hot with steamed rice and kimchi for a traditional Korean BBQ meal.
