Kalbi Kui or Galbi Gui is one of our family’s favorite dishes to cook from Korea’s lineup of mouthwatering barbecues. “Kalbi or Galbi” literally means ribs and “Kui or Gui” refers to a type of cooking which is grilling. Of course, the ribs can be beef, pork, or chicken. But the one I always use for this particular dish is beef short ribs. Today, I am adapting a recipe from one of my favorite books – The Barbecue Bible by the grill master – Steven Raichlen. This book is packed with different types of grilled dishes from all over the world, so check it out!
Have fun grilling everyone!

Ray, when I lived in London they used to laugh at me for asking for “scallions” because there it seems they are called “spring onions”. My other half could happily live on ribs so I’ll have to make these for him. Love the easy marinade.

Great looking ribs! I love grilling, and ribs are one of my favorites. Although I usually do pork ribs, beef ribs are excellent too. And this looks to be a great way to prepare them – tons of flavor. Really good stuff – thanks.

Love these ribs! There is something in thin cut meat that makes it much more appetizing to me!

I just drooled and couldn’t help it. Looks so good! Bookmarked already and ask my husband to grill for the superbowl party. The key is to be around the bbq grill when he’s grilling so that I get my share…with lots of guys and bears, this will disappear too fast!

I’ll take mine any way you like to cook them! Short ribs are one of my favorite meat cuts. Bobby smokes some mean short ribs, but it takes hours. This recipe looks like it would get them to the table much faster and be just as tasty, but completely different! I’ve never seen pear used in a marinade. I’m assuming it helps to join the ingredients together to better stick to the meat as well as adding flavor and some sweetness. Love this marinade! Have a great week Ray!

We’ve been on no-meat diet for the last two days, so my mouth is watering right now staring at the juicy glaze of your short ribs. Gotta stock up some ribs and cook them up spicy Korean style soon. Grilling makes winter a bit more bearable after all. Thanks for sharing the recipe, Ray.

These look so fabulous and remind me of the unforgettable night I had in a Tokyo barbecue restaurant… (I didn’t have ribs then but it was a Korean style barbecue). Actually I think I have never had beef ribs; only pork ribs. I don’t have barbecue alas, but I’m sure your ribs would be fantastic on my grill pan too.

Ray these Korean ribs look great. Love your marinade. I have a very dear Korean friend and she also sometimes uses sprite (7up) in her marinade as well. Have you ever tried it? It is really good. Have a super weekend! Take care, BAM

Hi, Ray! Galbi / Kalbi is also one of my favourite dishes to make! I only grill mine (not the same if it ain’t grilled, LOL). But the winter here in Toronto is harsh, reaching -20C to -30C at times. Hardly what you call a grilling weather. I’m just looking forward to Spring and Summer so I can fire up the barbie’!!!
