Korean BBQ (also known as 'gogi-gui' in Korean) is a popular cuisine in Korea and other parts of the world. One of the most loved Korean BBQ dishes is Kalbi or Galbi, which means 'ribs.' Beef short ribs are marinated in a sweet and savory sauce and then grilled to perfection. This dish is perfect for sharing with family and friends, as it is usually served in a large platter and eaten with lettuce wraps and optional accompaniments such as sliced scallions, red pepper flakes, sesame oil, and hot bean paste or chili paste. It is a crowd-pleaser and a favorite for all ages.

2.Add the beef short ribs to the marinade, covering them completely.
3.Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight.
4.Preheat the grill to high heat.
5.Remove the beef short ribs from the marinade and discard the marinade.
6.Grill the short ribs on each side for 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through.

PROS

This recipe is quick, easy, and delicious.

The sweet and savory marinade provides a perfect balance of flavors.

The prep time is short, and the cooking time is fast, making this recipe an ideal choice for busy weeknights or weekend BBQs.

CONS

The sugar content in the marinade may be a concern for some people.

While the recipe is labeled as ‘easy,’ you do need to marinate the beef short ribs in advance, so the prep time is not completely negligible.

This dish requires grilling, so you will need an outdoor grill or a grill pan.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Beef short ribs are rich in protein, zinc, vitamins B12 and B6, and iron.
They are a good source of energy and can help build and repair muscle tissue.
The marinade contains soy sauce, which is high in sodium and may not be suitable for people who are monitoring their salt intake.
However, it is also a rich source of umami flavor, which is one of the five basic tastes and helps enhance the overall taste of the dish.
Sesame oil is another ingredient that adds flavor and provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.
