- 4 beef short ribs, about 800g of meat including the bone
- 100g granulated sugar
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 15g fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp dark Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1.5 tbsp roasted crushed Sesame seeds
- 1.5 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
- red leaves Lettuce, to serve
For the Ssam Jang sauce
- 40g Korean chilli paste, called gochujang
- 60g Korean soy bean paste, called dwenjang, if you can’t find this, use red miso
- 25g chopped Spring onions
- 30 packets Mirin
- 5g Sesame seeds
- dark Sesame oil
For the Korean sticky rice

Method
1. Cut the meat into 2 inch slices, and trim any excess fat. Remove bones and discard or reserve for another use. In a large bowl, mix the meat in with the sugar with your hands, massaging the sugar in thoroughly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.2. Remove the meat from the bowl, shake off any excess sugar and place in another large bowl. Discard the sugary water that has seeped from the meat. Mix in the rest of the ingredients, again massaging in the ingredients with your hands. Let marinate for 1-2 hours.
3. Heat a grill pan or skillet over very high heat. Cook the beef, working in batches to not overcrowd the pan. Cook until well browned on the bottom and caramelised markings appear, 1-2 mins. Flip over and cook the other side, 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately with Ssam Jang sauce, Korean sticky rice and red lettuce leaves.
4. For the Ssam Jang sauce: mix all sauce ingredients together. Put in a small bowl and serve with kalbi.
5. For the Korean sticky rice: wash the rice with cold water 3 or 4 times, rinsing and draining the starch out.
6. Cook the rice in a rice cooker using 1.1 cups of water to 1 cup of rice. When cooked, fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

Thank you for finally featuring a korean recipe on the show. Having moved from New York to the UK 2 years ago and missing korean food, it is great to know that I can try to replicate some of my favorite foods. Please keep interesting dishes like this coming.
I loved this dish and am trying to make it today. I found the ribs at a London Korean shop called Hana Market. Can Judy show us how to make the pancake dish and sweet potato noodles. They looked amazing! What is the best type of kimchi to make at home???
