Bralen celebrates with Kalbi Beef

For Bralen's second birthday his mother made Kalbi beef for a family-style dinner on the picnic table. Lucky kid!


Kalbi Beef (Korean beef)
Ingredients:
3 lbs Korean cut short ribs ¼ to ½ inch thick
½ cup shoyu
¼ cup sesame oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds
¼ cup sugar
2 garlic cloves minced
3 stalks green onion diced
¼ tsp pepper
½ tsp salt

Mix all ingredients (except for short ribs) in a bowl until the sugar dissolves. Place short ribs in a ziplock bag and pour marinade on top. Seal bag getting as much air out as possible. Lay flat on a baking sheet and place in refrigerator. Marinate for 8 – 24 hours, turning bag over once or twice to ensure all the meat is getting marinated. Cook on grill for 8 – 10 minutes or until desired doneness. Eat with sticky rice and mac salad for a truly Hawaiian “plate lunch”!
