I decided to do some Korean Kalbi ribs today which required a trip to the Korean market yesterday. I picked up some Kalbi marinade that they make fresh every day. A quart container cost $2.99 and will marinate up to 5lbs, maybe more. It's not too salty, has some sweetness, a little heat and the aroma of sesame oil. Too good to even attempt to make myself. Picked up a couple of pounds of Kalbi cut short ribs. If you're unfamiliar with the cut, it's short ribs cut "flanken" style. 1/4" thick with a row of bone and a strip of meat. You can find it at Latin or Asian meat markets. Just marinate the short ribs for a day and then throw on the grill. Easy Peasy.

Gratuitous meat and sunset shot. Finally stopped raining. This Team Cali member can only take a day or so.

Time to eat. Usually I sprinkle with some roasted sesame seeds and finely cut greed onion. I had neither today so went with a little minced cilantro which was great.

Oh, and you need to eat this with white steamed rice. It's amazing and super easy. I've got a couple of pieces left. They won't see tomorrow, I'm afraid.

That looks like a winner, no Korean groceries around here but we get the "trayed" ribs in our grocery stores. Your cook reminds me that I haven't made those in awhile

i went to college with a korean buddy. we became roomies. his mom makes the best kalbi. the best ribs are the ones that are more "english" cut to start with, and someone with a very sharp knife and badass knife skills "unrolls" it off the bone in a thin strip leaving the bone attached at the end.
when i came to the marinate, she would just do a handful of this, a handful of that. i could never get her to toss the handful into a measuring cup or scale, and jot it down on a notepad. i have never found any better.
my wife is getting better, but i need to video my buddies mom if i ever see her again.
