Kalbi Barbecued Short Ribs @senseicat

Kalbi is a famous Korean specialty course in Korea and the traditional accompaniments are rice and kimchi.

2 pounds beef short ribs, cut into 3 inch lengths

1 Tbsp. roasted sesame seeds

4 Tbsp. soy sauce

4 scallions, white parts only, sliced

3 garlic cloves, crushed and finely chopped

1 1/2 Tbsp. sesame oil

1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated

2 tsp. sugar

freshly ground black pepper

a sprinkle of sesame seeds for garnish

Cut the meaty sides of the ribs through to the bone in a lattice pattern. This lets the marinade penetrate, tenderizes the meat and hastens the cooking. Put the ribs into a dish.

Mix together the remaining ingredients, except the garnish, and pour over the meat. Stir to mix, then cover and marinade 4 hours or preferably overnight.

Preheat the broiler or barbecue.

Lift the beef from the marinade. Broil or grill the beef brushing occasionally with the marinade, until it is rich golden brown. 12-15 minutes each side. Serve hot sprinkled with sesame seeds on top for garnish.
