Kalbi (Korean BBQ Beef Short Ribs)

Oh these Kalbi (Korean BBQ Beef Short Ribs)are good… I mean restaurant good! I LOVE going for Korean BBQ and these are a must order every single time.  I have been dabbling into Korean flavours and dishes lately as it is a much different flavour profile then I am used too. Naturally this made it to my “must try” list as driving over an hour is a bit much when the craving for short ribs hits.  I found a Korean supermarket nearby and they always have the best short ribs.  Try not to get ones with a lot of fat on them.  While fat usually equals flavour, in this case – fat mean less meat and you want the meat.

I used my Korean BBQ Marinade and left them to soak up the flavours for a few hours. The smell when the ribs hit the open flame on the BBQ is intoxicating.  We often see the neighbours peeking out of the window… probably wondering what that crazy short girl is up to this time 😉
