Flanken Short Ribs Korean (Bulgogi) Style
Options
Little Chef
Posts: 4,725
Saw some flanken short ribs in the market that were just too pretty to pass up. I usually braise this cut, but I find braises a bit heavy for this warm summer weather. So to do something a bit different, I decided to marinate them for 24 hours in a mix of soy, mirin, pear nectar, tons and tons of garlic, etc....bulgogi style. Seared them on the egg.....
These were nice...pulled at med rare....and they were very "korean style"....not tough, but definately had tooth pull....
Served with some traditional (and some non traditional) sides.....raw slivered garlic, chili garlic paste, hoisin, Napa Kim Chee, pickled bean sprouts, lettuce, pickled kirby & red onion, pickled spicy daikon, black bean chili paste and steamed white rice..... (yeah...a lot of prep work :blink: )
We cut some of the meat from the bones to wrap in the lettuce leaves with all the other goodies. But I admit, my favorite was just gnawing the meat from the bones.
Thanks for looking...hope you enjoyed. Happy Egging!

LC, OMG, you are killin me. :silly: You seared the bulgogi perfectly. Nice char. Love your innovative banchan (as well as your kimchis). You rock, Michelle! The pics really capture the cook. It really is a labor of love.
I think I can smell the garlic in Ohio. :woohoo: -
Steve, I've thought about burying a pot in my backyard and making kimchi.....let me know how your kimchi turns out.
-
gnawing bones, pots & burying,them you guys are over the top! Well I can gnaw on some bones :laugh: :laugh: (just can not make a dish like that) good job!
-
Gnawing the meat is always a good thing. Nice ribs.
Mike -
You've been busy girl with all those sides :huh: Great meal as always.
PS did you say you and Tim are house hunting in Melbourne ?
I can only hope :laugh: -
Ooooo now were talking. Thin and fattier the better.
-
LOL...You nailed it! These were SO marbled, I just couldn't leave them in the case...lol.
-
Pat...A mandoline sure does make the prep a lot easier..lol. I WISH we were house hunting in Melbourne! The people down here still think it's the housing boom in 2006-7. Crazy prices! :S
-
Thanks Mike. And I will do my best to pretend there wasn't an inuendo in there.....(leave it to you)! :laugh:
-
:laugh: Thanks Rebecca!! I always plan it as a Friday night meal so Tim has a couple days before he faces his clients to "air out"! :laugh:
Congratulations once again on your BTCMD Award! It was very well deserved to say the least. -
Thanks for the kind words Bruce!
-
Michelle I need a Korean dictionary here.. :P Fantástico!!
-
Thanks Steve! But why wait till you get an authentic pot? I use a large glass jar....works just fine!
-
:laugh: Thanks Susan...but I don't bury any pots :laugh: And you are one HECK of a cook! You can do this dish, and WAY better, easy!
-
Beli...Very kind of you, as always! Thanks!

Couple of quick comments:
1. You take outstanding photographs! The composition on these two photos is outstanding!
2. The descriptions of your cook makes my mouth water! A girl after my own heart, haha. I'm going to have to try this very soon!
So can you do this with other cuts of meat, aside from flanken short ribs?
Damn mouth is watering. haha. -
Rezen...I have my Sony Cybershot to thank for the photos. A little camera that packs a great punch.
Bulgogi is traditionally done with a boneless cut, sliced fairly thin, marinated, and grilled at the table by the diner. We have done it previously with chuck roast, flank, skirt, etc....really any cut will do as long as it isn't too lean. A very interactive family style meal. The flanken short ribs were an impulse buy because they looked good and were well marbled. And in Korea, because it can be so hot, and yet so cold, pickling is a huge part of the culture. Their Kim Chee is essentially the equivalent of German Sauerkraut, except it’s spicy. Fermented veggies...which are actually SO good for you!!
Glad you enjoyed the post, and welcome to the family!! -
I love Bulgogi as do my teenage daughters. You've really captured a typical Korean meal - I've made four or five visits to Korea, and what always amazes me is how many "sides" are served with a dinner. Last visit I was having a meal with two of my Korean distributors. I counted forty (40!) dishes on the table at one time including all of the small relishes and sides served with the bulgogi we were enjoying.

This is great to have fellow eggers cooking Korean food. My mom is korean and I grew up on this stuff. I need to get some korean style ribs and cook some up on my BGE now! I prefer Ggakdugi side dish which is a radish type of kimchi. Ahh the memories of my grandma making this stuff and putting in ground in a large bucket in our backyard. That's old school for you!

Rebecca,
Did you make the kimchee you served in FLA?

No Steven, Richard Fl was kind enough to pick it up. It was 'homemade' by their local Korean grocer. Could you imagine breaking a jar of kimchee on an airplane, whew. :S

Rebecca,
I have bought bottled stuff at Asian groceries and didn't like it. That was a good one as were some I have had in Korean restaurants. So many things to cook...so little time.
