    Really enjoyed this. I used ginger ale instead of lemon lime soda as that is what I had on hand. Marinated for about 8 hrs. Next time will marinade over night. Still had good flavor but I can imagine it is even better with more time.

    One of the most authentic recipes I've come across for Kalbi, although ginger is generally not added the recipe for Kalbi. I found it overpowered the flavor. However, the pear and 7-up worked well to tenderize and add the nice sweetness to the dish.

    If you don't have an Asian grocery store nearby, the cut ribs that Koreans use for LA kalbi can be found at huge wholesale chains such as Costco and Sams.

    WOW! This is fantastic! Make sure to use the pear (even canned or applesauce and the 7-Up. Best if you marinate over night. I have used this with steak and skirt steak.

    This is a great "base" recipe for kalbi. I have my own recipe for the marinade, but wanted to try something new. So, I gave this one a shot after seeing Jen Lee on Bobby Flay's show. It was pretty good and I don't have any complaints about it. It just wasn't as good as the recipe I already had. I ended up taking aspects of the recipe to add to my own though - it made my recipe even better. Specifically, I love that she uses a Korean pear to help sweeten the marinade (my recipe was all sugar and the pear allowed me to cut much of it. When making kalbi, definitely try to marinate overnight (turn it once in a while and BBQ it.

    I've tried many many many different Kalbi recipes from all over the place, this one worked out the best. I only used half of everything in the recipe for 1.5lbs of short ribs, I mixed everything together and tasted a little before I added the ribs.

    I added a little more soy sauce, added couple pinches of salt and a little more brown sugar after taste test. Marinated overnight, grilled it in the house with a grill pan. They turned out great. I don't think I'll ever go out for Kalbi again :

    I just made these for the first time after pouring over many other Kalbi marinade recipes. This was amazing and I'm glad I decided to try this one. Our new neighborhood grocery store specializes in Asian food (http://www.uwajimaya.com/ so I was really excited to try something with their excellent short ribs cut especially for Korean Kalbi.

    I didn't have lemon-lime soda on hand but did have some grapefruit-flavored drink so subbed that instead and also used Chinese malt syrup/sucrose in place of the honey. All else was the same and my 7-yr-old totally ate it up and asked for me to make it again - you know what a compliment that is!

    Do rinse the ribs well to make sure the bone dust is completely off of them. I also salted and peppered the ribs prior to adding the rest of the marinade - not sure if it made a big difference but wanted to share the approach. : We loved these!
