Kalbi Jim, also known as Korean Stewed Short Ribs, is a popular dish in Korean cuisine. It's made with beef short ribs that are slow-cooked with vegetables and a flavorful broth made with soy sauce and brown sugar. The result is tender, juicy, and fall-off-the-bone meat that is packed with flavor. The dish is often served with steamed rice and a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, spinach, and bean sprouts. This hearty and comforting stew is perfect for cold weather and can be made in advance for stress-free entertaining.

Instructions

1.	Soak the ribs in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess blood and impurities. Drain well.
2.	In a large pot, combine the ribs, green onions, carrots, garlic, ginger root, soy sauce, and brown sugar.
3.	Add enough water to cover the ribs completely and bring the mixture to a boil.
4.	Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 2 to 2.5 hours or until the ribs are tender. Stir occasionally and skim off any fat that rises to the surface.
5.	Serve hot with rice and steamed vegetables.
