Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Mince 6 cloves garlic and 8 scallions and peel 1-inch ginger. Set it aside.
    In a bowl, combine 2 Tbsp. chili garlic sauce, 1½ tsp. sesame oil, ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, ¼ cup brown sugar, and 4 tsp. rice vinegar. Whisk until combined.

  • Place the short ribs in a bowl. Sprinkle with ¼ cup flour and toss until coated.
    Heat a cast iron Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pan to medium-high on the stove top.
    Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Once hot, add half of the short ribs along with a pinch of salt and pepper.
    Saute for 3-4 minutes per side until seared, then remove and set aside. Repeat to sear all ribs.

    Return the short ribs to the pan and pour the sauce over top along with 1 cup beef broth. Stir together and completely submerge the ribs in the liquid.

Notes

  • Make sure the ribs are completely under the liquid before placing them in the oven. This will give you the most tender kalbi short ribs.
  • When they're ready to eat, Korean BBQ short ribs will be fall-apart tender and easy to shred with a fork or knife. Cook time depends on the thickness of your ribs. If they seem like they aren't ready yet, leave them in a bit longer.
