Upute

Prepare the ribs:

Clean

Rinse them under tapwater to remove bone fragment bits. Lightly stretch the meat with your hands to make it a little thinner. The meat will marinate faster and be more tasty.

Make the galbi marinade:

Peel the pear skin and remove the seeds. Scoop out the kiwi flesh. Roughly dice up the onion, ginger, and spring onions.

Blend

Add all the ingredients from pear to sesame seeds into a high speed blender. Blend for 1 minute or until the marinade is completely smooth.

Marinate

In a large rectangular container, add the ribs and pour the marinade over. Make sure all sides are submerged under the liquid. Marinate the ribs overnight in the fridge. The longer the better and up to 3 days.

3 ways to cook kalbi:

Grill: Gas or charcoal grill over medium-high to high heat grilling with 3-4 minutes per side until they are caramelized and little charred. This is the most authentic way of enjoying the dish.

Oven broil: Line the ribs over a sheetpan. Cook in the top rack, about 4 inches away from the heat source, on high broil for 3-4 minutes until they are caramelized.

Airfry

Air fry: Add the ribs into an air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 400F for 8 minutes the first side, and 5 additional minutes the flip side. Repeat the process until you finish the batch.

To serve:

Garnish

Transfer the beef onto a large serving plate. Garnish with chopped scallions and toasted white sesame seeds.

Serve

Rest the beef for a few minues before cutting up the ribs with a pair of kitchen shears so they are easier to eat. Serve with gochujang paste, kimchi, rice, and lettuce on the side. Serve hot and immediately.
