Instructions
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.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. This forms the flavorful marinade.
Place the short ribs in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
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.
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.
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.
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.
