EASY To Follow LA Galbi Recipe (RESTAURANT-STYLE RECIPE) + Mukbang/먹방 (LA Galbi Eating Show); LA갈비 황금레시피


LA Galbi is one of the most popular Korean BBQs! This LA Galbi recipe is perfect for those that are craving Korean BBQ at home. LA Galbi is perfect for any occasion as well as it being everyone's favorite celebratory dish served on Korean holidays (MyungJeol 명절); Lunar New Year gathering (SeolLal 설날), Thanksgiving (ChuSeok 추석), and/or birthdays.


Why is this dish called LA Galbi?

So the legend goes that this style of beef short ribs (three ribs sliced together) was first introduced at a Korean restaurant in Los Angeles, California, hence the name "LA Galbi."

Even native Koreans recognized this style of marinated beef short ribs as LA Galbi.


Kalbi or Galbi?

Many non-Korean friends ask what are the difference between Kalbi and Galbi. NO DIFFERENCE! Galbi and Kalbi is the English Alphaphabet phonetic spelling difference of the Korean word 갈비. Yes, as with all languages, phonetic translations using the English alphabet can vary, depending on how one hears the variations of the alphabet letters.

RECIPE


Remove Excess Blood

In a large mixing bowl, add the LA galbi cut beef short ribs and fill with cold water. Let the beef ribs soak in the cold water for 10 to 15 minutes. This soaking period is to remove the excess water from the beef. Then rinse under running cold water. Add the rinsed ribs into a large strainer, and let it rest for 10 minutes to drain the excess water. TIP #1: Less blood in your marinade means, the tastier your marinade will be. This soaking and rinsing is VERY IMPORTANT in removing the bone fragments from the beef ribs. Because these beef ribs are cut through high-powered blades, it leaves residues of tiny bone fragments. If you don't remove these tiny bone fragments, you'll end up crunching on them, which will lead to an unpleasant galbi eating experience.


Galbi Marinade

In a blender, add the following items (pear, onion, garlic, scallions, plum extract, honey, brown sugar, black pepper, and 1 cup water), and blend until liquefied.


Pour the liquefied mixture into a mixing bowl, and add the soy sauce and 3 cups of water. Mix and taste. If you prefer it saltier, add more soy sauce (if you plan to add some beef Dashida later on, don't make marinade mixture too salty). If you prefer it sweeter, add honey and/or brown sugar. In general, Galbi is NOT supposed to be too sweet in taste. Galbi is unlike beef teriyaki. The sweetness of the galbi should be an aftertaste, and not overpowering. BUT if you prefer it to be sweeter, please do add more honey and/or brown sugar.


Place the drained beef short ribs into a large container, and pour the marinade mixture. Cover with a lid and let the ribs soak in the marinade for 24 to 48 hours, in the fridge (preferably, 48-hour soak). TIP #2: The longer the ribs soak in the marinade, the tastier they will be. (Do not soak for more than 48 hours.)


TIP #3 Restaurant-Style Flavor Enhancer: Beef Dashida/쇠고기 다시다

Once the beef ribs finished soaking or 24 to 48 hours, lay each rib down on a tray or baking sheet. Sprinkle a tiny amount (small pinch) on both sides of the beef ribs. Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes to bring the ribs to room temperature.

This is an optional ingredient.


TIP#4 Grill On High Heat

Oven: Place the oven shelf on the highest setting. Preheat on broil setting.

Lay the ribs on a baking sheet, and place it under the broiler/highest oven shelf. Keep an eye on the ribs. Cook on high heat until you see dark chocolate seared marks. Then turn the ribs over and continue to cook until you see the dark chocolate seared marks.

Outdoor Grill: Preheat your grill so it is piping HOT. Place the ribs on the grill. If you don't hear the sizzling sound when the ribs hit the grill plate, that means your grill wasn't hot enough. Close the lid and wait a few minutes (timing on this depends on your grill heat). Once you see dark chocolate grill marks on the ribs, turn them over and repeat.
