GALBI JJIM RECIPE

Korean Soy-Braised Beef Short Ribs

Galbi Jjim is one of Korea’s most beloved comfort foods. It is made with beef short ribs slowly braised in a rich, savory-sweet soy sauce until the meat becomes tender, juicy, and full of flavor.

This dish is often served on special occasions, family gatherings, holidays, or weekend dinners. With tender short ribs, potatoes, carrots, and a deeply flavorful sauce, Galbi Jjim is a perfect Korean home-cooked meal.


INGREDIENTS

MAIN INGREDIENTS

800g beef short ribs, about 1.8 lb

2 potatoes

1/2 carrot

1 stalk green onion

1 bottle bottled water, about 500ml


BRAISING SAUCE

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup cooking wine, or mirin

1 cup water

1 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp minced garlic

1/2 tbsp grated ginger

2 tbsp sesame oil

1 stalk green onion, chopped


HOW TO MAKE GALBI JJIM

STEP 1: SOAK THE SHORT RIBS

Soak the beef short ribs in cold water for about 1 1/2 hours.

Change the water several times to remove excess blood from the meat.

This helps make the broth cleaner and gives the dish a better flavor.


STEP 2: MAKE THE BRAISING SAUCE

In a large bowl, combine the sugar, cooking wine, water, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and chopped green onion.

Mix well until the sugar is fully dissolved.

This sauce will become the rich, savory-sweet base of the Galbi Jjim.


STEP 3: PLACE THE SHORT RIBS IN A POT

Drain the soaked short ribs and place them in a large pot.

Pour the prepared braising sauce over the ribs.

Make sure the ribs are evenly covered with the sauce.


STEP 4: ADD WATER AND BOIL

Add one bottle of water, about 500ml, to the pot.

Bring everything to a rolling boil over high heat.

No marinating time is required, because the ribs will slowly absorb the flavor while cooking.


STEP 5: PREPARE THE VEGETABLES

While the ribs are cooking, cut the potatoes and carrot into large chunks.

Large pieces work best because they hold their shape better during the long cooking process.


STEP 6: SKIM THE FOAM

When the broth begins to boil, skim off any foam that rises to the surface.

This step helps keep the sauce clean and smooth.


STEP 7: ADD THE POTATOES AND CARROT

Add the potatoes and carrot to the pot.

Continue simmering until the vegetables become tender and absorb the flavor of the sauce.


STEP 8: SIMMER SLOWLY

Cook slowly over medium-low heat until the sauce reduces and thickens.

The longer it cooks, the more tender and flavorful the meat becomes.

This slow cooking process is the key to delicious Galbi Jjim.


STEP 9: READY TO SERVE

When the sauce has reduced significantly and the meat is fork-tender, remove the pot from the heat.

The Galbi Jjim is now ready to serve.

Serve hot with steamed rice and your favorite Korean side dishes.


CHEF’S TIPS

Low and slow cooking is the key to tender Galbi Jjim.

Do not rush the cooking process.

For a spicy kick, add sliced Korean green chili peppers.

Serve with steamed rice for the perfect Korean meal.
