Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef short ribs
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds (garnish)
- 2 green onions julienne (garnish)
Marinade:
- 2 green onions minced
- 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons grated Asian Pear (optional)
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon granulated onion
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Remove the silver skin on the top portion of the short ribs. This is not fat, but an impenetrable membrane. Once off, the meat will be more tender.
- To butterfly beef ribs: Lay each rib on its side. Cut along the bone almost all the way through. Leave about a 1/4 inch of meat on the bottom. Flip the rib over and cut about 1/2 an inch away from the bone, again almost all the way through. Repeat this process until you can lay out the rib in a long, thin layer.Optional step: lightly score the meat. This will help the marinade penetrate the short rib more efficiently.
- Place ribs in a resealable plastic bag. Combine marinade mixture and pour over ribs. Seal bag and gently massage marinade into the meat until it is well coated. Place into the refrigerator for 3-6 hours.
- Preheat grill for high, direct heat. Remove ribs from bag and place onto grill. Grill on each side for about 2-4 minutes or until cooked through to your desired doneness.
- Once cooked, remove galbi from grill and place onto a cutting board. Cut the meat away from bone and slice into thin strips. Place on top of rice, garnish with pine nuts or sesame seeds, and your choice of sides.
