Korean BBQ Short Ribs (LA Galbi)

May 18, 2022

Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

Korean BBQ Short Ribs also known as LA Galbi is my favorite meat to order at korean bbq because its so tender and I love the sweet & savory marinade. The beef short ribs goes so well in a lettuce wrap with kimchi. Mainly because I love the sweet, savory, acidic and crunchy bite!

I recommend marinating the Korean BBQ short ribs for more than 2 hours (overnight is better( for impeccable flavor! Hope you enjoy your at home Korean BBQ night with this delicious recipe!

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR YOUR LA GALBI:

  • beef short ribs (thin sliced version!)
  • ginger
  • garlic cloves
  • soy sauce
  • salt
  • sugar
  • mirin
  • korean pear (can sub with apple)
  • white onion
  • sake or cooking wine
  • water
  • black pepper
  • honey
  • vegetable or avocado oil (for grilling)

garnish:

  • honey
  • green onions
  • sesame seeds

STEPS TO MAKE THE LA GALBI:

  1. Take off the top membrane of the sliced beef short ribs because its really chewy and has no flavor. Then, wash your beef in cold water to get rid of any bone shards. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. To make the marinade, add ginger, garlic, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt , 1/2 tablespoon sugar, 1/4 cup mirin, 1/2 korean pear (can sub with apple), 1/4 white onion, 2 tbs sake or cooking wine, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 tablespoon honey. Blend all the ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth.
  3. Pour marinade into the beef short ribs and marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight in the refrigerator.
  4. Take the beef ribs out of the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to grilling. Heat cast iron pan to medium high heat. Once you see smoke coming from the pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Slowly drip off excess marinade from the beef short ribs in the bowl. If you get too much marinade in the pan, it will be harder to get a nice sear. Gently add the beef short ribs to the pan and cook 2 minutes on each side.
  5. You can brush short ribs with a thin layer of honey after grilling for amazing sweet flavor and shine! Eat the LA galbi with some hot rice. Or you can make a lettuce wrap with kimchi, cucumbers, or whatever you like ◡̈

    This was a super easy and delicious recipe to make! I was too intimidated to try making Galbi before, but this was so straightforward that I decided to try it and I’m so glad I did. The sauce is what makes this dish so good (it’s much better than some restaurant-made Galbi I’ve tried in the past). Will definitely be making this again on repeat.

Me visiting New York 5 years ago vs. this past sum Me visiting New York 5 years ago vs. this past summer! So much has changed since then. I went to NY when I just graduated college and was introduced to the food scene for the first time ever thanks to my dear friend, Tina (hi girl!). Then, I went back this past summer and fell in love again with the food. I think New York does a modern take of asian food very well (doesn’t compromise the original flavors). Don’t get me wrong, there’s very tasty authentic food for really cheap too! One of my favorites is May Wah Fast Food in Chinatown where they serve delicious Taiwanese chicken rice for $6.50!

Check out my new blog post of the best places to eat in NY (in my opinion of course!!) [https://cookwithdana.com/best-places-to-eat-in-new-york/]

If you’re local to NY/visiting and tried one of the restaurants, send me a photo! I love to see and live vicariously through u.

We stayed in for Valentines Day to enjoy a Thai-In We stayed in for Valentines Day to enjoy a Thai-Inspired Dinner! We ate basil pork belly, braised soy sauce eggs, taro & pork belly (made by my dad!), shrimp toast, pork chops, and mango sticky rice for dessert. I made the dessert with my boyfriend, Theo and it took 10 minutes! We used @eatinnovasian Sticky White Rice mixed with sweetened coconut milk. Then, placed ripe yellow mango on top for a delicious thai-inspired dessert :) Swipe to see our food tasting reaction. #ad

Here’s a quick recipe on how I made the mango sticky rice - 

Ingredients:

- @EatInnovasian Sticky White Rice (half pack)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ⅓ cup white sugar (adjust to your own sweetness)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 ripe yellow mango, sliced

Directions:

1. Heat up coconut milk with sugar and salt. Stir frequently and cook for 3-5 minutes. Cool down.
2. Heat up sticky white rice according to package directions.
3. Once the rice cools a little bit, add ¼ cup of the coconut mixture and mix together. Plate the rice with sliced yellow mango. Pour leftover sauce (as much as you’d like) on the mango and rice. 

Please note that this is not the same as thai mango sticky rice, but a great hack to get a quick, easy, & delicious thai inspired dessert :)

So EXCITED (and nervous) that our family cookbook, So EXCITED (and nervous) that our family cookbook, Homecooked, is launching today! The book includes 15+ written recipes and video tutorials so you can watch exclusive, delicious, and calming video content all at once🤩! You can shop the cookbook in the link in my bio or go to cookwithdana.com/shop

All the recipes mean a lot to me because they were the foods that my parents made for me as a kid. As I've gotten older, I started appreciating these dishes more because they remind me of home! Most importantly, I wanted to pass down authentic recipes and share the meaning behind some Chinese traditions to my kids and virtual friends (hehe you!) 💜   If you grew up in a Cantonese household and you miss some 'homecooked' food, you have to make these recipes ◡̈  (I got Sai Yeung Choy Tong there for my canto gang!)

I've been cooking with my family this past year in the kitchen to taste test and film how to make their best dishes. We tweaked and MEASURED (IYKYK) all our recipes to ensure that you can have a taste of our home. Some of my favorite recipes in the cookbook are cha siu, crab with vermicelli, and pork & chive potstickers! It would mean the world to us if you cooked these recipes as well. 

Hope you get to cook an authentic Chinese feast or learn more about Chinese culture with Homecooked♥️💛 

If you wondered how the aesthetics are sooo 👌🏼, or you've already seen how BEAUTIFUL they look, all credit to my SUPER TALENTED friends @aiireeyo @lifted.and 

Also thank you for the ones the liked my first post hehe I messed up 🤣 and reposted again.

Check out my reels to see the ginger scallion lobster recipe and video. I used fresh lobster and fried the ginger and scallions in @cookwithyouyou tea seed oil! I love using the oil when cooking food in high heat (for that wok hei flavaa 😉)
