Korean BBQ Beef Short Ribs Wraps
Grilled short ribs are one of the most popular Korean barbecue dishes and they will soon become one of the most popular dishes on your grill too! The marinade of garlic, ginger, soy, sugar, and sesame infuses the meat with such incredible flavour! The longer you marinade the ribs the tastier they will be, so plan for 24 hours. While that grill is hot why not grill up two incredible accompaniments to take this meal over the top with flavour… caramelized Kimchi (you will want this on everything, so good!) and marinated mushroom skewers (because beef & mushrooms are best friends!)
Ingredients
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup mirin
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- ¼ cup grated yellow onion
- 4 teaspoons finely grated ginger
- ½ cup peeled and grated Asian pear
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- 8-12 Canadian Beef - Korean style Bone-in Grilling Short Ribs approximately 1.5 – 2.2 lbs (see Note)
To garnish
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Make marinade by placing the first 10 ingredients in a food processor and blend to combine. Reserve ¾ cup of the marinade for brushing the ribs while grilling.
- Place ribs in a sealable container or use a resealable plastic bag (Great for camping too!). Pour the marinade over the ribs.
- Cover, refrigerate and marinate the ribs for at least 6 hours, or up to 24 hours. Shake the container once or twice during the marinating process.
- To cook the ribs, preheat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high heat (400°F/200°C). Remove the meat from the marinade. Discard marinade that has been in contact with the meat.
- Place the reserved marinade in a high-heat tolerant saucepan, then place it on a side burner or cooler spot on the grill to warm through. Be careful not to let it boil or reduce as the sugars will burn and the salt in the soy will overwhelm the taste.
- Place the ribs over direct heat and grill for approximately 4 to 5 minutes per side, brushing additional warm marinade on each side. If your grill begins to flame too much, move the ribs to a new spot.
- We like to serve the ribs in lettuce wraps for a main course so, we cut out the bones and slice the meat into strips for the wraps. For the wraps serve with white rice, whole lettuce leaves (we used Boston Lettuce & Perilla leaves), Ssamjang dipping sauce, Spicy Korean Slaw, green onions, pickled radishes, pistachios, sesame seeds, Grilled Mushrooms (recipe below) and Caramelized Kimchi (recipe below).
- On the side we served a light and refreshing Korean Green Salad.
