Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds beef short ribs cut horizontally across the bones in "franken style"; about 2 slices per person
- 4 tbsp miso light colored miso (shiro) works best in this case
- 2 tbsp gochujang if you don't have gochujang, you can mix miso + chili paste or red chili pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp sake you can skip if you don't have sake
- 5 clove garlic pressed or minced
- 1 tbsp ginger grated. if using powder, reduce to 1 tsp
- 3 tbsp brown sugar can use honey or maple syrup
- 5 stalks green onion chopped in about 1/4 inch short pieces
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 tsp freeze dried yuzu Optional. Can use yuzu juice of lemon juice
- 4 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 piece orange pepper
- 8 pieces brown mushrooms
- 1/2 pound baby broccoli
- 1/2 tsp salt and other seasonings for vegetables
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Pat dry short ribs well with (paper) towel and let it rest in a fridge until you are ready to marinate (about 2 hours before grilling).
- For marinade, mix miso, gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, sake (optional), yuzu (optional) and sesame seeds. I usually make about 2-3 times more than I need immediately to set aside for other uses. For the portion you will be using right away, add garlic, ginger, and chopped onion. Should yield about 1 heaping tablespoon of marinade per slice.
- Marinate short ribs in a large bowl so that you can massage the marinade into the meat with your hands. Let is sit in fridge about 2 hours.
- Prepare vegetables for grilling - Wash and cut cauliflower and orange pepper in 2 to 3 inch pieces. Half the mushrooms. Separate florets and stems of broccolini. Combine cauliflowers, orange peppers, mushrooms and broccolini stems in a bowl or bag and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and turmeric (about 1/2 teaspoon each). Right before grilling, mix in olive oil.
- Grill (or broil) vegetable mix for about 5 minutes, add broccolini florets and grill for another 2 minutes.
- Right before grilling kalbi, mix in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Grill in high heat for about 3-4 minutes each side.
