Kalbi (Korean Short Ribs)
Kalbi, also known as galbi, is a classic Korean BBQ dish based on beef short ribs. This dish became popular in Korea in the 1900s, especially during festive occasions and family gatherings. The special marinade, made from soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and pear, not only makes the meat tasty but also tender. The dish's specialty is the caramelized layer that forms during grilling, which perfectly harmonizes with the sweet and sour flavors. Kalbi has since become one of the best-known export items of Korean cuisine and has found fans worldwide.

Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the short ribs: trim off any excess fat and slice them thinly for optimal marinating.
2
Make the marinade: in a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Grate in the garlic, ginger, and pear.
3
Place the short ribs in the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
4
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the ribs on the hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until caramelized and slightly charred.
5
After grilling, sprinkle the ribs with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
