I want some Korean bbq kalbi with lettuce tonight
Let’s make the marinade for kalbi
Half pear
Remove head and bottom
Peel it
halve it
halve it again
remove the seeds
Prepare a small onion
Remove head and tail
Slice it half
Remove three garlic clove skin
cut off the garlic head
About 7g of ginger
Rinse it clean first and take out the blackened part
set
We need to puree all above ingredients
This is what we use in the restaurant
hand blender is more convenient
Put in all the above ingredients
Pear onion garlic ginger
Add 60g of water
Puree them
Add 120g of soy sauce
15g of rice wine
25g of white sugar
15g of sesame oil
Add some roasted white sesame to boost good smell
A bit black pepper
stir it
voilà
I prepare thick-cut short ribs from Costco
It already has a good thickness
When selecting short ribs
Please pick ones with beautiful marbling like this
For marinating Kalbi
A ziplock bag will do
Or a bowl will suffice too
Put in meat
Pour in sauce
2-48 hours, 24 hours and more is better
The enzyme in pear
Will tenderize meat
The authentic kalbi comes with bone
The roasting bone marrow will flavor meat and make it supreme
So it will taste surpreme
But it’s harder to obtain short ribs like that
So we use short ribs from Costco here
Taste still good
This kalbi has been marinated for two hours
Let’s sear it
We prepare a plate and napkin and put on short ribs
To take off extra sauce and puree
do both sides
Ok consider it dry
Let’s rock it
The machine is warmed up
Sprinkle some sugar
always turn all buttons to far right
When the sugar is liquid like
Has this amber color
We can put in meats
Let’s close the press
For 1 min
Flip it
And press for another 1 min
If you cook this short ribs and discover there are still liquid
Keep roasting and cook off liquid
When it’s easy to poke through short ribs
This short ribs is ready to savor
And the meats are well-browned
Consider it done
This kalbi
When I was a foreign exchanged student in Bay Area
It’s my comfort soul food
You can cut it into small pieces
I use Boston lettuce to wrap it
Any clean lettuce vegetables will work
Let’s wrap and eat it
The caramelized kalbi is delicious
The high heat from caramel
Brings up meat’s and condiments flavors and fragrance
And will taste the crispy sugar on the edge
This sweetness is close to what I had in Bay Area
If you have Korean miso Ssamjang
You can also wrap some in
