Ingredients(12)

Beef short ribs, bone-in6 oz (170 g)
Soy sauce (low sodium)2 tbsp
Mirin (rice wine)1 tbsp
Brown sugar1 tsp
Garlic, minced1 clove
Ginger, grated1 tsp
Sesame oil1 tsp
Water1/4 cup
Korean radish (mu), peeled and cubed2 oz (57 g)
Carrot, peeled and sliced1 oz (28 g)
Scallions, chopped (for garnish)1 tbsp
Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)1 tsp

Instructions

1

Rinse the beef short ribs under cold water and pat them thoroughly dry. This is a crucial step in Korean cooking to ensure a clean flavor.

2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. This forms the flavorful marinade.

3

Place the short ribs in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.

4

Add the water to the pot. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it braise gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is very tender.

5

Add the cubed Korean radish (mu) and sliced carrots to the pot during the last 30 minutes of braising. These vegetables will absorb the rich sauce.

6

Once the beef is fall-off-the-bone tender and the vegetables are cooked through, remove the lid. Increase the heat to medium and let the sauce reduce slightly for about 5-10 minutes, basting the ribs with the sauce. The sauce should thicken to a glaze.

7

Serve the Galbi-jjim hot, garnished with chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds. This dish is traditionally served with rice, but can be enjoyed on its own for a high-protein lunch.
