Haioreum Korean Style Beef Bbq Sauce Kalbi
Galbi, Korean BBQ Recipe for all types of protein!
Hi guys!!
Galbi (Kalbi) is a Korean marinated rib BBQ. Mostly beef or pork ribs are used for this particular dish, but there is no rule what cut of meat you have to use.
My family used to own a Korean BBQ restaurant, and yes, I know what I'm talking bout when it comes down to Korean BBQ. (I mean, I know what I'm talking about pretty much all kinds of foods, but especially Korean BBQ. ? lol)
As most Korean dishes are, galbi serves with lots of side diets that go well with reach meat.
Most of the time, it serves with Ssamjang- Korean spicy bean paste(mixture of Doenjang and Gochujang with other seasonings), some type of kimchi, some type of mini hot pot dish (steamed egg, doenjang jjigae or etc.), and definitely warm cooked rice or spicy/non-spicy cold noodles.
Galbi is the best taste when it's grilled from direct fire as most of the other BBQ styles are. But you can also cook on a stove as well if that's the only option. This recipe is also perfect for a BBQ party, family/friends gathering, especially the 4th of July is coming… this will WOW every your guests!!
Enjoy this BETTER than restaurant Galbi recipe at home!

(Overnight will be the best for perfectly tenderized meat and flavors) You can use either mixing bowl or ziplock bags. Do not marinate meat over 2 days, otherwise kiwi/pineapple breakdown protein of meat too much, it will be a mush texture and you don't want that.
- When you are ready to cook Galbi, remove meat from marinade first and pour marinade into a sauce pan and bring it to boil. When it starts boiling, reduce heat to medium and cook sauce about 10 minutes. Skim as you needed.* This will be a delicious dipping sauce for Galbi!
- You can grill galbi over medium high heat until meat is cooked to your desire doneness. If you want to cook indoor, just use a nonstick skillet (it's easier to clean later) and pan fry them.

Have you ever tried making this without using Soy sauce? I've been playing with a soy sauce replacement (coconut aminos) because my bf is highly allergic. Do you think coconut aminos and the brown sugar would be equivalent in ratio to your recipe or will I have to add more sugar and coconut amino? Wondering if you have ever tried this before?

This looks delicious. Although when I cook, the soy sauce I use is more salt then what are normally served in Asian restaurants. So before I try this recipe, what type of soy sauce do you use or recommend?

Before you marinate the beef do you soak it in water to wash out the blood? I remember my mom doing that. She would soak the galbi in water then dry and marinate it. Is that step really necessary? Thank you.
P.S. Love all your dishes

You can soak in cold water for over night if you prefer. I don't see it's necessary for grilled meat like galbi- even in Korea we don't do much for grilled meat. Soaking meat/bones in cold water works the best for soup dishes, because lots of Korean soups are require to have clear look. But even those soup dishes, I just blench the meat and bones in boiling water because it takes much short time and still do the same thing! Hope this helps!

Can you marinate the meat and freeze? Or will the kiwi still break down and make the meat not taste good?

I just tried this, and I am OBSESSED! As someone who is new to cooking asian food, this recipe NAILED it – the only thing I'm confused about is what is the difference between Mirin and Rice Wine? I used double the portion of Mirin and no Rice Wine as I wasn't sure in the store what to buy! I loved it though – already made a second batch of marinade for some chicken!
Where do you recommend buying short rib from?

Hi, I see the recipe calls for 1/4 cup Mirin and also 1/4 cup of rice wine. I thought mirin was rice wine? I have both mirin and shaoxing wine, would I use 1/4 cup of each?
Reply
Seonkyoung March 2, 2021 at 9:47 am
They are slightly different, and yes you would use 1/4 cup of both. Hope this helped (:
