Kalbi — Korean-Hawaiian Short Rib (Detailed)

Overview

Kalbi (already HI-35) in detail: flanken-cut beef short ribs marinated in soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, pear (the pear tenderises the meat enzymatically), and green onion. Marinated for a minimum of two hours (overnight is better). Grilled over high heat for two to three minutes per side. The sugar caramelises on the meat, creating the characteristic sweet-savoury char. Kalbi is the most popular plate lunch protein in Hawaiʻi.
