Galbi (Korean-Style Grilled Marinated Short Ribs) Recipe

When I made my first attempt at someKorean barbecue, there was a strong consensus that although Daeji Bulgogi is pretty awesome,galbiis where it's at. I had to try it.

My galbi started with one-fourth of an inch thick beef flanken—beef short ribs cut across the bone—that was given an overnight marinade using a recipe I pieced together through a few different sources. After grilling over a high heat, it cooked through in no time and the marinade caramelized. This created not only the shiniest Galbi I've ever seen but also the most fantastic-tasting one.

Despite the heavy-looking coating,it was the flavor of the meat that took center stage. The semi-tender beef had some sweetness and saltiness going on, but the richness of the short rib dominated and balanced the other flavors.

Even if I did miss the spicygochujangin the Daeji Bulgogi that originally attracted me to Korean barbecue, I'm totally on the galbi bandwagon now.
