Korean BBQ Short Ribs ImageIf you are a fan of Korean food, you have probably heard of Galbi. Galbi is a popular grilled dish in Korean cuisine. It’s essentially sliced beef short ribs marinated and cooked on a tabletop grill. 

Last week, I ordered a reversible stove-top griddle from Amazon. It’s perfect for making Galbi at home and many other grilled dishes. I couldn’t wait to give my new griddle a try. Today, I made Korean BBQ short ribs (galbi) for dinner and we loved it. Now, I can’t wait to share the recipe with you.

Beef Short RibsWhen shopping for beef short ribs to make galbi with, I usually look for well-marbled ribs for extra tenderness and flavor.

This time, I used boneless beef short ribs I got from Sunrise Mart (a Japanese grocery store) to make this dish. They are prepackaged and sliced into an ideal thickness, I find it very convenient to cook with. But I like galbi made with bone-in beef short ribs as well. 

Marinating sauce for Korean BBQ Short RibsWith this sweet and savory marinade made with soy sauce, brown sugar and a couple other common ingredients, you can make delicious restaurant-quality Korean BBQ short ribs at home. Simply add everything into a blender and make a puree, the marinade is ready to be used. 

Korean BBQ Short RibsIt’s my first time using my new stove-top griddle and I am very happy with the result. After heating the griddle to 350ºF and grilled for about 4 minutes each side, the galbi has caramelized and developed a nice crispy edge. 

You can enjoy this dish in a traditional Korean style by making a wrap (serve with lettuce leafs, and Korean BBQ sauce/Ssamjang), or simply with steamed white rice. Either way, it’s delicious!
