Kalbi short ribs, Korean ribs, Flanken Style, or Assado de Tiro… we're still not entirely sure what to call them, but they've been online for quite a while now — and they're wildly popular. David (@otakudaaf on Instagram) created an incredible Korean-style recipe with them, and of course we're more than happy to share it with you.

Kalbi short ribs in the marinade

Add all the ingredients to a blender in stages. Start with the onion, garlic, and ginger (it's easier if you add a splash of stock), give it a blend, then add the rest of the ingredients and blend into a smooth marinade. Marinate the Kalbi short ribs in it and leave in the fridge overnight.

Quick & hot Korean short ribs

Take the Korean short ribs out of the fridge about half an hour before grilling and let the excess marinade drip off a bit. Meanwhile, fire up your BBQ. Once it's piping hot, grill the short ribs for about 4 to 6 minutes per side. Don’t worry if they’re still a bit pink inside — that's exactly how you want them.

Both sides beautifully caramelised and crispy? Then plate them up and finish with sesame seeds (quickly toasted in a dry pan) and thinly sliced spring onion.

ENJOY!
