Recipe of Galbi
Vida Recetas Editorial
Galbi is one of the most iconic dishes in Korean cuisine: short ribs, marinated in a sweet and savory mixture, and grilled until caramelized on the outside and juicy inside. This galbi recipe guides you step by step to prepare this delicacy at home, with a classic marinade combining soy sauce, grated pear, garlic, and mirin.
Why does this recipe work?
- The grated pear acts as a natural tenderizer, making the meat soft.
- The balance between sweet (sugar and honey) and salty (soy sauce) creates the characteristic galbi flavor.
- Marinating for at least 2 hours (ideally overnight) intensifies the taste.
Who is it ideal for?
This dish is perfect for those who enjoy grilling and want to surprise with an Asian twist. It's great for family gatherings or BBQs, and although it requires some marinating time, the cooking is quick. If you don't have a grill, you can use a grill pan or the oven.
Galbi is traditionally served with rice, kimchi, and grilled vegetables. Go ahead and try this delicious Korean recipe!
