Barbecued Short ribs (Kalbe)
I wasn’t going post this recipe yet because I didn’t get a good picture of it but my bloggy bud, Becky, from Little Wickies wanted the recipe and I couldn’t let her down. Pay her blog a visit when you get a chance. She’s got such a sweet family and her girls are so freaking cute! Now, where was I. Yes, so folks, I am so sorry but you’ll have to feast your eyes on the blurry background shot of the barbecued short ribs or kalbe. Either way you want to call it, it is 100% BBQ goodness and anyone who’s had this at our house wants the recipe. If you’re going to have a cookout this weekend, change it up a bit and give this a try.
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 cloves garlic minced (use more if you love garlic like I do)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 lbs. beef short ribs (luckily the grocery store I frequent always has this cut available. If you don’t see this cut at your store, ask the butcher)
Combine soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, sugar and salt. Add the short ribs and let it marinade overnight.
For barbecue: cook for 10-15 minutes turning frequently.
You can also cook this in the oven. If you chose to do it this way, cook at 350 degrees. Pour approx 1 inch of hot water into a roaster pan. Place ribs on a roasting rack over the water and bake for 1 hour turning the ribs after 30 minutes.

Yumorama! I have another rib recipe that I should post where the ribs fall right off the bone! It only took 14 years to find this recipe!
Looks amazing, along with all the other grilled goodness.
I love Kalbi! Bbq’s are the same without it!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’ve been trying to pry this recipe from my barely-English speaking family on my husband’s side — getting details has been tough, so this is awesome!!!
And, thank you for the sweet words about my girls, as they say, flattery will get you everywhere…

Soy sauce and lemon is one of my favorite marinade combos. Yum. My trick: add italian dressing. Trust me.
ooh. I’m definitely going to try this next time. Thanks for the tip!!
yum, Korean short ribs rock! I’m surprised you used lemon juice though, I’ve usually only seen pear juice used? I guess the brown sugar might make up for it though. Unique recipe

I like the picture. I want to eat those tomatoes right off the screen. Can’t wait to try your recipe !
Saying hi from SITS! Congrats on a great day for you! My husband is of Korean descent so our family loves these ribs! His grandmother used to bbq them on a little tiny hibachi for a family of 8! A couple of possible variations: you can use rice wine or sake in place of the lemon juice; add a dash of sesame oil for a really yummy flavor enhancement; and lastly you can add a little mashed up kiwi to the marinade — it has a natural enzyme in it that tenderizesthe meat. Love the color combination of your photo/meal.
Have a great day and keep on writing and cooking!
