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.

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.
