How To Make Korean BBQ

beef

🥗Healthier: lean cuts of beef

💰Cheaper: pork

Pork is often less expensive and can be just as flavorful.

marinade

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: homemade marinade

Homemade marinades can be more cost-effective and healthier.

Mix all marinade ingredients (soy sauce, light brown sugar, mirin, pear juice, orange juice, onion juice, garlic juice, ginger juice) in a large bowl with 1 ¼ cups water until sugar dissolves.

Add the short ribs to the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.

For the pickled onions and jalapeños, combine soy sauce, sugar, salt, and ¾ cup water in a saucepan over medium heat until dissolved, then pour over onions and jalapeños.

For the pickled daikon, mix rice wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and ¼ cup water in a saucepan over medium heat until dissolved, then pour over the daikon.

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated short ribs in batches, flipping once, until charred and cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Cut the cooked ribs into 1-inch pieces and serve immediately with pickles, kimchi, rice, lettuce, and sesame leaves.
