This LA-style flanken Korean galbi ribs recipe features tender, juicy ribs marinated in a sweet and savory Asian pear marinade, perfect for quick grilling and packed with authentic Korean BBQ flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds flanken-cut beef short ribs
  • 1 medium Asian pear, peeled and grated
  • ½ cup (120 ml) low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons mirin or rice wine (optional)
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) water

Instructions

  1. Peel and grate 1 medium Asian pear into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add ½ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, 3 chopped green onions, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 2 tablespoons mirin (if using), and ¼ cup water to the grated pear. Stir until sugar dissolves and ingredients combine.
  3. Trim excess fat from the 3 pounds of flanken-cut short ribs if needed. Place ribs in a large zip-top plastic bag or shallow dish and pour marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, turning occasionally.
  4. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  5. Remove ribs from marinade, shaking off excess but do not wipe dry. Grill ribs for 3-4 minutes per side until caramelized and juicy, watching for flare-ups.
  6. Let ribs rest for 5 minutes after grilling. Garnish with additional chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Marinate ribs at least 4 hours or overnight for best tenderness. Use tamari for gluten-free option. Watch grill heat to avoid burning sugar in marinade. Rest ribs 5 minutes before serving. Leftover marinade can be boiled and brushed on ribs for extra flavor.
