Grilled Asian Beef Ribbons Food

KAI BI (KOREAN STYLE GRILLED SHORT RIBS)

Steps:

• MARINADE.
• Chop onion, pear or apple, and ginger into small pieces and place in blender with garlic and just enough water to blend into a smooth pourable paste. Pour into medium mixing bowl.
• Slice green onion and add to bowl.
• Add all other ingredients. Mix well and let stand for at least fifteen minutes.
• If too thick, add equal parts soy sauce and water until reach desired consistency.
• PREPARE MEAT.
• Very lightly salt meat on both sides and let sit 10 minutes.
• Place meat into a bowl, pour in enough marinade to just cover the meat and mix well. Refrigerate for 6 to 24 hours.
• GRILL MEAT.
• Remove meat from refrigerator and let set at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Heat grill to high heat.
• Cook until browned then turn and cook until browned on the other side, about 2 minutes per side.
• NOTE:.
• If you can't get the butcher to butterfly the ribs, you can do it yourself. Separate the ribs, then slice into the meaty side at the center of the rib section, stopping just before cutting through the membrane. Turn your knife 90º (flat to the bone) right and carefully slice the meat at roughly 1/8 inch thickness outward until just short of slicing through, roll the loosened flap of meat away from the knife, and continue slicing until again just short of slicing through. Repeat until you reach the "end" of the meat. Do the same for the left side and repeat this with each rib section.

GRILLED RIBBONS OF THAI-STYLE STEAK

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, slice the steak, against the grain and on angle, into thin strips about an inch wide.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the paste, coconut milk, sugar, fish sauce, and turmeric, if using. Add the beef, mix well, and set aside at room temperature to marinate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill.
• Thread the beef onto skewers, then lightly spray them with oil. Working in batches grill the beef, over high heat until just cooked through, about 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the beef skewers to a serving platter and serve with the peanut sauce.
• Toast the dried chiles in a small dry skillet over medium-high heat until smoky and fragrant. Transfer to a medium bowl, cover with hot water, and set aside until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain and roughly chop the chiles.
• Toast the coriander, cumin seeds, and peppercorns in the skillet over medium-high heat until toasted and fragrant. Transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly. Grind the spices in a spice mill (clean coffee grinder).
• In a food processor, combine the chiles, ground spices, and all of the ingredients, except for the oil, and puree into a paste. Gradually add the oil with the machine running, and puree until smooth. Store the paste in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Stir-fry the coconut cream in a small saucepan over medium heat, until the oil separates and sizzles, about 2 minutes. Add the curry paste and stir-fry until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Whisk in the broth, coconut milk, peanut butter, and fish sauce. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and cool to room temperature. Whisk in the lime juice just before serving.
