Hi everybody!
Yay, it’s time to have party with this dish! : )
Galbijjim is a popular Korean dish made with beef short ribs and it’s considered an unskippable dish on special occasions in Korea. I uploaded my traditional galbijjim video a long time ago, in 2008! This is a newer version that I developed that’s very easy, simple, and quick to make. It’s very juicy, tender, and sweet.
Enjoy the recipe and let me know how yours turns out!
