KOREAN BRAISED SHORT RIBS (GALBI JJIM)

Steps:

• To make the sauce, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, fresh ginger, ground ginger, brown sugar, water, rice wine, pear, kiwi, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
• Fill a large stockpot with cold water. Soak the short ribs in the water for 30 minutes to 1 hour to pull out impurities. Drain. Score ribs by slicing shallow criss cross cuts across the meat.
• Fill the stockpot with clean water and bring to a boil. Simmer the short ribs in the water for 30 minutes. Drain. Return the simmered ribs to the pot; pour in the sauce, bring to a low boil. Simmer the ribs in the sauce for 60 minutes. Stir in the carrot, potatoes, green onions, yellow onion, chestnuts, and shiitake mushrooms. Simmer until vegetables are tender, at least 30 additional minutes.

KOREAN BRAISED SHORT RIBS (GALBI JIM)

Steps:

• Mix together all ingredients except ribs, asian pear, potatoes, and carrots. Score the ribs and pour the marinade over. Marinate for about an hour in the refrigerator, or overnight. (Marinating is optional).
• Pour the ribs and marinade into a large pot over high heat. Liquid should come at least halfway up to the level of the ribs; add water if necessary.
• When liquid comes to a full boil, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and turn the heat down to simmer.
• Cook for 90 minutes to 1 hour, until meat is tender. Add the Asian pear, potato and carrot about 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
• Serve with rice.

INSTANT POT GALBIJJIM

Steps:

• Stir together the pear, onion, garlic, soy sauce, sugar, corn syrup, mirin and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl (see Cook's Note). Set the sauce aside.
• Place the short ribs, peppercorns and 2 teaspoons salt in the Instant Pot® and add enough water to cover. (It's okay if some ribs are not completely submerged; just make sure that the ribs on top are submerged at least three-quarters of the way and that the water is not above the maximum fill line.)
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and set to pressure cook on high for 5 minutes. After the pressure cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Unlock and remove the lid, being careful of any remaining steam. Drain the ribs in a colander and rinse off any impurities and peppercorns. Wash the pot, then add the ribs and sauce and set to pressure cook on high for 40 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, wait 15 minutes and then quick-release. Unlock and remove the lid, being careful of any remaining steam. Transfer the short ribs to a large plate.
• Use a ladle to skim off any excess fat from the top of the liquid and then set the Instant Pot® to high saute. Add the radishes, carrots and mushrooms and cook until radishes and carrots are cooked through but still hold their shape, 15 to 18 minutes. Stir in the sesame oil and scallion whites. Add the short ribs and stir to coat with the sauce. Serve with white rice or rice cakes and top with the scallion greens.

KOREAN KALBI JJIM (BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS)

Steps:

• Soak beef short ribs in a large bowl of cold water to remove residual blood, about 30 minutes.
• Place short ribs, onion, ginger, and 2 cloves garlic in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, skimming any foam that floats to the top, 20 to 30 minutes. Measure out 2 cups of broth and reserve. Drain short ribs and rinse under cold water; discard onion, ginger, and garlic. Cool until easily handled.
• Make slits in each short rib to remove or cut away excess fat.
• Return short ribs to the pot. Add reserved broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, 4 minced garlic cloves, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Simmer over low heat until flavors combine, about 45 minutes. Add potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, chestnuts, and dates. Continue simmering until potatoes are tender and sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
• Stir corn syrup into the sauce. Simmer until sauce has a slightly syrupy consistency, about 5 minutes more. Garnish with green onion slices and serve.
