LA Galbi Preparation- 1kg LA-style beef short ribs
- Cold water (for soaking and removing blood)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Soak the Ribs: Rinse the LA Galbi under cold running water, then soak them in a bowl of cold water for about 1 hour to remove excess blood. This crucial step helps eliminate any gamey odors and ensures a cleaner, more refined taste.
Step 2
Create the Fruit and Vegetable Puree: In a blender, combine the peeled onion, the peeled and cored pear, the peeled and cored apple, and 1 cup of water. Blend until you achieve a smooth puree. This mixture will tenderize the meat and add a natural sweetness.
Step 3
Puree Complete: Check that the fruit and onion have been blended into a smooth consistency. Ensure there are no large chunks remaining for the best texture.
Step 4
Mix the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the fruit puree from step 1, the 200g of store-bought LA Galbi marinade, 1 cup of soy sauce, and 1 cup of prepared dried shiitake mushrooms (make sure to trim the tough stems). Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. This forms the base of your delicious marinade.
Step 5
Marinate the Galbi: Add the blood-removed LA Galbi to the bowl with the marinade. Gently massage the marinade into the meat to ensure every piece is coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least half a day, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat, resulting in superior taste.
Step 6
Prepare for Cooking: Before grilling, place the marinated LA Galbi in a preheated pan or on a grill. To keep the meat moist and create a flavorful sauce, add a little extra marinade and about 1/2 cup of water to the side of the pan.
Step 7
Braise the Galbi: Cook over medium-low heat, flipping the ribs occasionally to prevent burning. Continue cooking until the sauce has thickened and coats the ribs beautifully. The meat should be fully cooked and glazed with the rich sauce.
Step 8
Enjoy Your Delicious LA Galbi!: Your flavorful and beautifully glazed LA Galbi is ready! Serve hot with steamed rice for a truly festive and satisfying meal.
