Grill the Ribs
Rest and Serve
Add 1-2 tablespoons of gochujang (Korean chili paste) or gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) to the marinade for a spicy kick.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook these under the broiler. Place marinated ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil on high for 3-5 minutes per side, watching carefully to prevent burning.
If you can't find an Asian pear, you can substitute with a Bosc pear or a kiwi. Note that kiwi is a very powerful tenderizer, so reduce marination time to 2-3 hours.
Beef short ribs are packed with high-quality protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle mass, and maintaining overall body function.
This dish provides a significant amount of heme iron, which is easily absorbed by the body and helps prevent anemia. It's also a great source of Vitamin B12, crucial for nerve function and the formation of red blood cells.
The marinade includes garlic and ginger, which are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, potentially boosting the immune system and aiding digestion.
Flanken-cut is a style of cutting beef short ribs where the ribs are cut across the bone into thin strips, typically about 1/2-inch thick. This cut is popular in Korean cuisine for grilling (as in LA Galbi) because it cooks quickly and absorbs marinade well.
Yes! You can cook the ribs on a cast-iron grill pan on the stovetop over high heat, or under your oven's broiler. For both methods, cook for 3-5 minutes per side until charred and cooked through.
A Bosc pear or even a sweet apple like Fuji can be used as a substitute for its sweetness. For tenderizing, you can also use a tablespoon of pineapple juice or half a kiwi, but be careful not to marinate for more than a few hours as they are very potent.
A serving of these short ribs contains approximately 850-950 calories. This is an estimate, as the exact number depends on the fat content of the beef and how much fat renders during cooking. It's a rich and indulgent dish.
While delicious, this dish is high in calories and saturated fat due to the cut of beef. However, it is an excellent source of protein, iron, and B vitamins. It's best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
