Korean Kalbi Beef
1 Asian pear, peeled and grated
1 kiwi, peeled and grated
1/2 C. soy sauce
1/3 C. packed brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 tsp. sesame oil
freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds Korean style beef short ribs
In a large bowl, whisk to combine the grated Asian pear, grated kiwi, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, sesame oil, and a few cracks of black pepper. Combine in a marinade bag with the beef, and let marinate for at least 4 hours, and as long as overnight. Remove the beef from the marinade, and discard the marinade. Either grill the beef for 3-4 minutes on each side, or broil them on top of a wire rack set over a sheet pan, also for 3-4 minutes on each side. If those two cooking options aren’t available, you can also pan fry them in a skillet. Cook them until they are caramelized and deeply brown on the edges. Enjoy!
