Kalbi-jim is Korean-style braised short ribs that are great to share at a large table. This is a crowd-pleaser served at fancy gatherings or as a comforting home-style meal. The ribs are slow simmered over low heat, resulting in tender, sweet meat. It’s a rich dish with no chilli, but loads of texture.

Ingredients

2kg short ribs, Jacob’s Ladder bone intact
1 large Korean white radish, peeled, cut into 3cm pieces
3 carrots, peeled, cut into 3cm pieces
3 eggs
2 tbsp sesame seeds
Ginko nuts, to garnish
4 tbsp chopped green onion, finely sliced, to garnish
Kim chi
Rice, to serve

Marinade
1/2 cup grated brown onion
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp sesame oil
4 tbsp caster sugar
3 tbsp rice wine
6 tbsp low-salt soy sauce
2 tbsp chopped garlic
Glucose

Preparation

To make the marinade, in a bowl, combine the onion, black pepper, sesame oil, sugar, rice wine, soy sauce, garlic and glucose.

Score the ribs about 1cm deep and add to the marinade. Cover and store in fridge for 1-2 days.

Heat a large frying pan with 2 tbsp vegetable oil and sear the ribs on each side for 1-2 minutes or until the meat is caramelised.

Add the short ribs to a deep pot and cover with water. Bring to the boil and skim off any impurities. Simmer for an hour and add the carrot and radish.

In a clean bowl, whisk the eggs. Cook in a frypan to make a thin omelette. Slice into strips.

Once the stock has reduced to a thick syrup and the meat is falling off the bone, remove from heat.

Divide among plates. Garnish with ginko nuts, omelette and spring onion. Serve with rice and Chinese cabbage kim chi.

I used to go to a Korean restaurant in Ryde (can't remember it!! Sorry!!) and ordered this slowly braised beef short ribs. I loved it and it is one of those melt-in-your-mouth dishes.

Hot Tips

Sealing meat

Sealing meat does not actually help to keep the juices inside the meat, it does however add a great charred flavour and colour to the meat. Sear cuts of meat in a hot frying pan or roasting dish over medium to high heat.

Glossary

Biscotti

Italian biscuits flavoured with aniseed, chocolate or almonds. They are hard and crunchy – ideal for dipping in dessert wine or coffee.
