Can you make this more saucy and if so, how would you do so?

[@ModernPepper]

👋whome121 If u want to make it more saucy, during the broth reduction, just reduce it less, instead of half.

[@maryduff8831]

Short ribs are my favorite braising meat it has so much flavor and even from the lower quality of beef it’s in the expensive side because people have discovered how good it tastes. What use to cost me $1.00 a pound now is $7.00 a pound and up the same with beef shanks and ox tails. Much respect and gratitude for your cooking skills and sharing of your food culture. Gamsahabnida

[@ModernPepper]

👋Mary Duff. 🙏Thank you🙏. I completely agree! Beef short ribs are so yummy braised. I also like to slowly braise them with beef broth, red wine...😋. These beef short ribs, depending on the quality, start at $15 per lb where I live. It definitely is a special occaission for my household. Here is my written GalbiJjim recipe: www.modernpepper.com/post/galbijjim

[@pingcsw2353]

It looks so yummy! It reminds me of the galbi Jim in the restaurant Sun Nong Dan, but their galbi Jim is spicy. May I ask how do you make the spicy version like the galbi Jim in Sun Nong Dan? Do you add korean chili flakes and gochujang to the onion garlic purée?

[@ModernPepper]

👋Ping CSW 🙏Thank you🙏. I plan on making the spicy GalbiJjim recipe, with the works, eventually. BUT for now, try adding 1/2 Tbsp of GoChuJang, and 1/2 Tbsp GoChuGaRu each of coarse grind and fine grind when u add the potatoes and radish (during the 2nd part of the 15 minute braising part). After the final broth reduction part, taste it. If u prefer it spicier, add some cayenne pepper and fresh jalapeños (remove the seeds). This should definitely add some heat🌶 Here is the written GalbiJjim recipe: www.modernpepper.com/post/galbijjim

[@pingcsw2353]

Modern Pepper Thank you so much for your quick and detail reply! You are always so sweet! I already bought the gochujang and gochugaru, will definitely try! But my gochugaru is coarse grind, can I put in the vitamix and blend it to fine grind? Or could you advice a trick? Use food processor?

[@ModernPepper]

Ping CSW My pleasure😇 First, try with 1/2 Tbsp GoChuJang and 1/2 Tbsp corse GoChuGaRu, and that might be enough spiciness for u? If u have fresh jalapeños and/or cayenne pepper, add it with the butter, at the end. Or it might not even be necessary cuz the 1/2 tbsp each of the GoChuJang and GoChuGaRu might be sufficient spiciness for u...? And no need to break down the coarse GoChuGaRu in the blender. Lmk how it comes out.

[@pingcsw2353]

[@mavischan4892]

Hi Helen, I will be making your recipe this afternoon. May I know how many pieces of pears and cloves of garlic you used in the puree? I hope I can get Korean pears nearby, which are more crunchy and juicy. Conference pears with different textures are more common here in uk. I will be making approx 1kg of short ribs. If I am not putting potatoes, the sauce will be more runny, I believe. Should I thicken it with cornstarch? Please advise, thank you.

[@ModernPepper]

Hi Mavis! U can use any sweet pear if u can’t find Korean pear. I advise against using corn starch to thicken the sauce, as this would change the taste of the sauce. Some GalbiJjim is made kind of runny, so if u don’t want to add the potatoes, it is fine. Just follow the same instructions on reducing the liquid. Here is the written recipe so u can calculate the ingredient amount according to how much beef ribs u r cooking. www.modernpepper.com/post/galbijjim

[@mavischan4892]

@@ModernPepper Thank you very much, Helen! It was pretty successful but I will put the whole pot into oven to cook longer next time as the short ribs here are of thicker cut and I do not need to monitor it at all. Thanks again.

[@GabelGreen]

Suggestion: can use beef stew cubes also. Brown in non stick pan heated medium heat with drizzle of vegetable before adding to pot.

[@ModernPepper]

@@GabelGreen Hi 👋 Yes, beet stew cubes is a good budget-friendly choice. FYI - Bone in beef short ribs has a better cut of meat with some marbling, and the bone-in adds so much flavor to the GalBiJjim, which makes this dish a gourmet/special occasion dish. You might also like Beef JoRim which is super tasty using more of budget-friendly cuts of beef. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWOwfnmqnr-Krassi=_VLvMuXO4mRTNOp-

[@ChoochooseU]

I just bought ribs to make this and your recipe pops up! 👏🏻 Interesting culture differences between Koreans and Americans I’ve noticed regarding proteins. My family would be shocked at seeing someone rinse the meat, boil it again and rinse and then dry it before cooking more- to them, the flavour in beef 🥩 would be lost by all of this. But I’ve noticed a lot of Koreans are very sensitive to the gaminess of fresh beef and pork. What you call a clean flavour is what most want to taste at say a steakhouse here in the USA. So on the other side of that, Americans are often very sensitive to fish/seafood. So while it would seem like more flavour to eat a more fishy seafood for us- Koreans find it more flavour. One thing I do get confused about are the sundae and blood sausages- it would seem to be something undesirable but many people really enjoy it in that preparation.

[@ModernPepper]

👋Charity Dutton What a great fortuitous timing😎 So glad that u r making GalbiJjim with me🙏🤗🙏. Here is my written GalbiJjim recipe: www.modernpepper.com/post/galbijjim Yes, in Korean cuisine, the gaminess of meat is definitely something that is not preferred in stews, soups, and other gourmet dishes. We prefer a ‘cleaner’ taste by removing the excess blood and also flash boiling in hot water. This is to remove the impurities, bone fragments and excess blood & ‘bad’ fat. And the quick rinse is to remove the cooked blood cluster stains off the meat. This flash boiling and quick rinsing does not take away from the flavors of the meat (only the exterior of the meat is slightly cooked). This prep process enhances the pure taste of the meat. On the other hand, we, Koreans, also eat lots fresh meat, that r very gamey, usually grilled, without pre-seasoned in marinades, including lots of different parts of the animal, like the French do. There is a gourmet beef dish that is served raw, but with only the highest and freshest quality of beef (called 육회 YukHweh). So the gaminess of the meat in Korean cuisine, really depends on the dish at hand. As for seafood, we like them both fresh and cooked with lots of seasonings.

[@ChoochooseU]

Modern Pepper my husband says I was born into the wrong culture because I tend to eat and enjoy most Korean cuisine I’ve tried and almost exclusively cook it now. Your recipe will be my first attempt at GalbiJjim and I’m excited! I was trying to think of something I’ve made that is a Korean recipe and cannot think of anything yet... Well I take that back- not a huge fan of classic g/kimbap... I like all the ingredients except for the seaweed and that’s just odd to me... because I love seaweed soup and the other form of seaweed I use for soup stock. I’ll let you know how it turned out!

[@ModernPepper]

👋Charity Dutton Yay...so excited for u🤗. Do lmk how it turns out😋

[@cherylmoore747]

Hi, re cleaning of meat, in the Caribbean we reduce all the gaminess by soaking the meZt in vinegar/lime/lemon or all three. Yes, we kill the meat twice😂

That really is not blood is is water and red food coloring I have alot of buchter in my family three to be exact. They do this to keep the meat red it is more eye appealing. By the time the meat reaches the store the blood is long gone. If they left the blood in the meat it would spoil so fast it not even funny. My one uncle does deer in his basement and he taught me all I will ever need to know about the different cuts and where the come from. He also works at a grocery store. So he taught me how they ripe us off by just changing a name. Like sirloin steak and New York strip they are the same thing one is just trim better. That it and they add about ten dollars to the meat by changing the name.
