Korean Kalbi Marinade

Servings: Serves 6–8

Ingredients

Marinade

• 4 lbs flanken-cut beef short ribs
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 4 Tbsp sesame oil
• 4 Tbsp sugar
• 1 apple, roughly chopped
• 1 pear, roughly chopped
• 1 onion, roughly chopped
• 4 scallions, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves
• 2 Tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, apple, pear, onion, scallions, garlic, and sesame seeds in a blender. Blend until smooth.
2. Place flanken-cut short ribs in a large container or zip-top bag and pour marinade over the meat, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
3. Cover and refrigerate overnight (8–24 hours) to allow flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill short ribs until caramelized and cooked through, about 3–5 minutes per side.
