Korean BBQ Short Ribs Marinade Recipe

If you've ever had barbecue korean short ribs, you've had the pleasure of sampling the marinade that makes these ribs taste like no other; now make the marinade yourself with this recipe. If you're a korean food devotee or new to korean cuisine but eager to make sure you're preparing the food as custom dictates, have no fear, this is a traditional marinade. The sauce gives korean short ribs a delicious sweet soy flavor and an amazing tenderness. This marinade is intended for 1 pound of meat, but it can easily be doubled or tripled if you want to serve it for your whole family or at a dinner party. Although this is specifically the recipe for korean galbi, you may also use this marinade on any thick cuts of meat as well as pork or chicken. This sauce tastes wonderful on them also. Many people also use a cola or 7-up in their marinade. If you've used these drinks before, by all means, go for it. Although these soft drinks aren't usually used in korean marinades, the acidity in these liquids can be a useful trick if you don't have at least four hours to marinate the meat. Avoid this dilemma altogether by marinating the meat overnight or on a weekend when you know you'll be around all day.
