Recipe: Jean Yoon's Kalbi Beef Short Ribs

Jean Yoon, aka Umma from CBC's hit comedy Kim's Convenience, dropped by The Goods studio to share her recipe for Kalbi Beef Short Ribs. Try it out for dinner tonight!

Ingredients

• ¾ cup soy sauce
• ½ cup maple syrup
• ½ cup red wine
• 1 pear, peeled and diced
• ¼ cup toasted sesame seeds, reserve 2 tsp for garnish
• 4 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
• 2 bunches green onion, reserve 2 pc for garnish

Sauce:

• ½ cup doenjang (Korean fermented soybean paste)
• ½ cup gochujang (Korean fermented hot pepper sauce)
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tsp sesame oil

Preparation

Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl or resealable container. Add beef ribs and toss so they are fully coated with the marinade. You can cook them right away or leave them to marinate overnight. Remove from the fridge about 20 minutes before cooking to come up to room temperature.

To cook you can use a BBQ, large cast iron pan or stove top grill pan. If cooking on the stovetop add a splash of vegetable oil to the pan. Over medium high heat, cook each side of the ribs for 2-3 minutes, transfer to a large platter.

Garnish with reserved toasted sesame seeds and green onion. Serve with cooked rice, kimchi, large pieces of lettuce and your sauce. Enjoy!
