Hawaii-Style Beef Kalbi Shortribs
Serves 4
Kalbi or galbi means "ribs" in Korean. In the United States, they are almost always cut flaken-style, across the bone. This results in thin strips of meat that cook quickly. Traditional Korean marinades use Asian pear or kiwi to sweeten and tenderize meat. The same marinade used for Bulgogi Beef can be used for kalbi; the difference is in the cut of meat. Hawaii-style kalbi marinade substitutes brown sugar for the fruit. This results in a slightly sweeter taste.
