The Aussie Gourmet: Korean-Style Short Ribs

In The K tchen Korean-Style Ribs

By Naomi Nachman

The Superbowl is always so much fun� I love the hype and build-up. My family has been watching the game with the same group of friends for over 20 years.

During the half-time show, we switch over to watch The Nachum Segal Network Kosher HalfTime Show � which is a concert streamed on the internet at www.nachumsegal.com as a clean alternative for frum viewers.

For me, it’s all about the food (of course!). I will often debut a new meat dish using this as an opportunity to get everyone’s feedback. I also usually serve kid-friendly chicken nuggets, French fries and a salad bar. (I put someone else in charge of dessert.) This year, I am making a brand new recipe called Korean Ribs. This is a popular street food in Korea where it’s BBQ’d right on the street. It’s quick and easy to cook as Korean Ribs are basically thin-cut flanken ribs (cut to � inch thick).

Ingredients

◦ 1 cups soy sauce ◦ ½ cup maple syrup ◦ 1 cup mirin ◦ ½ cup rice wine vinegar ◦ 6 cloves fresh minced garlic ◦ 1-inch piece minced ginger ◦ 1 tablespoon Gochujang (fermented bean paste) ◦ 4 scallions, chopped ◦ Sesame seeds, for garnish ◦ 3-4 lbs. Miami ribs

Preparation

1. Mix all the ingredients for the marinade together and let the beef sit for a few hours in the marinade.

2. Preheat broiler or barbecue to medium-high heat. 3. Remove meat from marinade. Broil each side of meat for 3-4 minutes. 4. To serve, sprinkle meat with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
