There are many variation of Kalbi beef short ribs. In fact, we previously published a Filipino-style Kalbi BBQ ribs as one of the very first recipe for this food blog. In this recipe variation, you are presented with the absolute easiest, no frill, tasty grilled Korean style Kalbi beef short ribs ready in minutes that any body can make. For this recipe, we will use only two simple ingredients; a 16 oz. bottle of pre-made bottled Korean BBQ marinade and 2 lbs. of beef short ribs cut Flanken style. If flanken style beef short ribs are not readily available, simply ask your butcher to cut a regular rack of beef short ribs Flanken style. They can do this easily with their meat cutting band saw.

The ribs are marinated in bottled Kalbi marinade overnight in a zip top bag. If you are making this dish in a hurry, marinade for a minimum of 2 hours. The marinated ribs are then grilled over medium heat on our Kamado Joe Classic kamado cooker, over lump charcoal. The ribs can certainly be cooked on a gas grill, but nothing beats the smokey, wood fire taste acquired from natural lump charcoal.

These easy Kalbi BBQ ribs can be eaten a la carte, but we enjoy it with warm white rice and a side of kimchi.

Ingredients

2 lbs. beef short ribs cut Flanken style
1 bottle 16 oz. Korean BBQ Kalbi marinade
1 stalk green onion for garnish

Instructions

Pack a large zip top bag with 2 lbs. of beef short ribs cut Flanken style, then pour an entire 16 oz. bottle of Kalbi marinade into the zip top bag. Expel as much air from the bag as you can, then place the bag on a dish and refrigerate overnight for the maximum flavor.
Remove the marinade bag from the refrigerator and allow it to return to room temperature, about an hour.
Prepare your charcoal grill or gas grill and pre-heat the grill to medium-high heat, about 375°.
Grill your marinated beef short ribs, about 3 minutes per side until done. Ribs are done when the surface is slightly caramelized from the marinade (avoid overcooking as this will dry out the ribs and make them rubbery/chewy). If you poke the meat on the ribs with your pinky finger, it should bounce back. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. The ribs will continue to cook due to residual heat.
Cut the beef short ribs into segments, between the bones. Garnish with thinly sliced green onion and serve with warm white rice.
