Gluten-Free Korean Kalbi Beef

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Gluten-Free Korean Kalbi Beef.

1. Step 1

   To start, grab a small skillet and toast your sesame seeds over medium heat.

2. Step 2

   Keep an eye on them as they turn a lovely light brown, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.

3. Step 3

   This step really brings out their nutty flavor! Next, in a saucepan, combine those toasted sesame seeds with gluten-free soy sauce, a sprinkle of white sugar, chopped green onions, a drizzle of sesame oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.

4. Step 4

   Let this mixture simmer over medium-low heat, stirring constantly for about 10 minutes.

5. Step 5

   This is where the magic happens as all those flavors meld together beautifully.

6. Step 6

   Once done, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the marinade cool completely, which should take around 15 minutes.

7. Step 7

   While that’s cooling, take your Korean short ribs and place them in large resealable plastic bags.

8. Step 8

   Pour the cooled marinade over the ribs, seal the bags tightly, and pop them in the refrigerator.

9. Step 9

   For the best flavor, let them marinate for at least an hour, but if you can wait overnight, you’ll be rewarded with even more deliciousness! When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium heat and give the grate a light oiling to prevent sticking.

10. Step 10

    Now, take the short ribs out of the marinade, discarding the marinade itself.

11. Step 11

    Grill those beautiful ribs on the preheated grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they’re perfectly browned and sizzling.

    The aroma will be irresistible! Enjoy your flavorful Korean short ribs, and savor every bite!.
