I didn't have any Mirin, and was fgoing to use white wine mixed with sugar but I forgot. Also, didn't have an Asian pear, so i just used a splash of pear nectar. This turned out really well, and the short ribs were in sale for $3.50 a pound. Fed a whole crew for around $12.00, and they think I broke the bank!

This marinade is "Spot on". Tasted just like Kalbi at an authentic Korean restaurant.
Simple ingredients and simple instructions, I can't imagine anyone fouling this up.

Some of my personal tip:

Korean style short ribs can be hard to come by if you don't live near an Asian market (DO NOT USE REGULAR BEEF SHORT RIBS. A good substitute which I used twice is Flank steak. I simply take a 2 pound Flank and butterfly it so I have two thin sheets of beef about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Because it's a different density of meat, I let my brown sugar rub sit for about 15 minutes and only marinade it for 2 hours. The longer you marinade it the sweeter it is so I guess it depends on your taste and accompanying sides.

Also, Asian Pears aren't often titled as such in the supermarket so you have to look for "Pear Apples" which is the same thing.

Hope this additional tips help!

I'm always looking for authentic family recipes and this one delivers. I too marinated for 24 hours, the flavors were awesome. Smelling the marinade while turning the meat, I knew it was going to be good. If you want awesome Korean barbecue, this recipe is for you. To Ethan , you bought bad meat. Mine was tender to start with. I cooked a piece after reading your review.

I spent a year in Korea and could not duplicate it back here in the states until I watched Judiaann make her ribs on TV. That's the secret .... brown sugar rub..... don't miss that step. Even the ladies here at the local Korean resturant were impressed!!! My boyfriend and son were very impressed. Thanks Judiaann!!! oh yeah and Big Thanks to Bobby for having her on the show....

I tried this for the first time a few weeks ago, and thought that it tasted just like the korean short ribs in a korean restaurant...better than the store bought marinade! I think the key to this recipe is to rub each piece with brown sugar and marinate overnight.

We saw the show last weekend and decided to try this recipe this weekend. We marinated over 24 hours. Just finished eating it and wanted everyone know it is amazing. We ate Kalbi on many occations and this was the best.
