KOREAN BBQ SHORT RIB SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat a flat-top or griddle to 350 degrees F.
• Place the Kalbi on the flat-top and cook until tender and fully cooked, 2 1/2 minutes per side. Let rest for 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, place 1/4 cup Kimchee and 1/4 cup Pickled Red Peppers on each hoagie roll.
• Cut the short ribs into 1 1/2-inch pieces and place over the Kimchee and Pickled Red Peppers. Spread 2 tablespoons of Spicy Aioli over each roll. Serve with hand-cut fries, potato chips or a salad.
• Place the short ribs in a lidded container. Whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, sambal, lime juice, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, scallions and 3/4 cup water in a large mixing bowl. Pour over the short ribs, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours.
• Place the cabbage in a nonreactive lidded container.
• Heat 1 tablespoon salt and 2 cups water in a small saucepan, stirring until the salt dissolves. Pour over the cabbage and let sit for 3 hours at room temperature.
• Rinse and drain the cabbage in a medium colander, pressing out any additional liquid. Transfer the cabbage back to the container and add the tamari, ginger, fish sauce, sambal, sugar, scallions, carrots and garlic; mix well.
• Cover the container with plastic wrap and then the lid. Let ferment for 5 days at room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator for up to 8 days.
• Place the peppers in a nonreactive lidded container.
• Combine the red pepper flakes, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and star anise in a sachet and place in medium saucepan. Add the vinegar and sugar, and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.

SHORT RIB SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.Salt and pepper the short ribs. In a heavy pot, heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil over high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides over about 2 minutes. Remove to a plate. Reduce heat to medium high. Add onions, carrots, and garlic and stir to start cooking. After a minute or two, pour in the wine and broth and stir to combine. Set the short ribs back in the pot, put on the lid, and place in the oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until short ribs are tender and literally falling off the bone.If you have time, allow them to cool, then store in the fridge for several hours so the fat will congeal on top. Once it's hard, remove it with a spoon and discard (some of the juice and a few pieces of onion and carrot will come out with the fat, but that's okay.) Reheat on the stovetop, then shred the short ribs. Toast the baguette until warm, then split down the middle. Spoon the short rib meat down the length of the baguette, then spoon the veggies and some sauce over the top. Place the top of the baguette on top, then slice sandwich into pieces with a sharp serrated knife. Serve immediately!(If you don't have time to refrigerate, you may skim as much fat off as you can, then just shred the short ribs immediately and serve as above.)Variation: Melt brie cheese on top of the sandwich!

GRILLED CHEESE AND PULLED SHORT RIBS SANDWICH

Steps:

• Melt about 1 tbs of the butter and 1 tbs of olive oil in skillet. Cook sliced onions until golden brown and starting to caramelize. Remove from skillet and set aside.
• Meanwhile, warm your pulled short rib meat just enough to take the chill off of it if you have been storing it the fridge. Toss pulled short rib meat in just enough BBQ sauce or Italian dressing to give it a light coat. You don't want it to be dripping with wetness and overpower the flavors that are already there. This step is optional for those who wish to enhance the flavor of the meat, if desired.
• With skillet at a medium-low heat, or panini maker ready to go, place sliced bread, butter side down, and then begin to build your sandwich by placing sliced cheese, caramelized onions, a generous portion of pulled short ribs, sliced cheese again if desired, and finally top it with another slice of bread, buttered side up this time.
• If using a skillet you might want to use a press on your sandwich. Cook sandwich to desired shade of golden brown on each side; 3 to 4 minutes per side using skillet, about 4 minutes on panini maker (depending on your heat settings and/or panini maker).
• Place completed sandwiches in a warm oven on a stone or pan to keep warm while cooking other sandwiches.

GRILLED CHEESE AND SHORT RIBS SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Beginning with a large saucepan or braising pan with a lid, heat the tablespoon of grapeseed oil over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. Sear the short ribs on either side until caramelized and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan. Add the carrot and celery to the pan and cook for 5 minutes over the same heat. Add the onion and garlic. Cook together until caramelized, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally as needed. Add the short ribs back to the pan and deglaze with the red wine. Add the sachet (see below) and, stirring from time to time, allow the wine to reduce until almost evaporated, about 6 minutes. Pour in the beef broth and bring the braise up to a boil. Put the lid on and place in the oven for 2 hours. Stir occasionally.
• After the first 2 hours of cooking time, remove the lid. For the next hour, baste the short ribs every 15 minutes, leaving the lid off. Cook for an additional hour, until very tender, for a total of 4 hours cooking time.
• Pull the short ribs from the oven and allow them to cool in the braising juices for at least a few hours. Carefully transfer the meat to a plate and strain the juices through a fine sieve, then allow the fat to rise. Remove the fat. Using a dinner fork in each hand, lightly shred the meat along the natural grains in a pulling motion from the center outward, and set aside.
• To prepare each sandwich, begin by preheating the oven to 350°.
• Take two slices of bread. On the bottom slice, place a layer of cheese (you'll want approximately 1 1/2 ounces for each sandwich, just enough to cover the bread to the edges), then top with 1 teaspoon of Pickled Red Onion, spread to the sides. Place 1/4 cup of the pulled short ribs on top, add another layer of cheese, and top with the second slice of bread. Brush each completed sandwich on top and bottom with 1/2 teaspoon butter.
• In a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, add 1 teaspoon of the grapeseed oil and allow it to get nice and hot. Place 2 sandwiches in at a time and flip so they will absorb the oil on both sides. Weight them down with a small sauté pan. After 1 minute, flip the sandwiches, return the weight, and place directly in the oven. After 2 minutes, remove the weight. Flip the sandwich one final time, and cook for 1 final minute. Pull from the oven, slice diagonally, and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.
• For the Sachet/Bouquet Garni.
• For the sachet, wrap the parsley, thyme, bay leaves, and peppercorns in a small amount of cheesecloth and tie with butcher's twine.
