Kalbi
I like to use boneless beef ribs for this, so i guess it's somewhere between kalbi and bulgogi. Don't be put off by the long ingredient list--it's really not at all difficult to make. You can use this marinade for kalbi (thin strips of beef short ribs), bulgogi (thinly sliced beef), or on chicken. This recipe freezes well, too, though i would recommend sticking with thicker cuts of meat to freeze.
Steps
Combine all ingredients except ribs in a 1 gallon ziplock bag.
Add ribs and seal bag , squeezing out excess air.
Work sauce into ribs by kneading bag.
Marinade several hours , or freeze.
To cook: if frozen , thaw first by placing in refrigerator the day before.
Drain meat , reserving marinade.
Grill over medium-hot coals until done to taste.
Meanwhile , place reserved marinade in a small saucepan , bring to a boil , and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
I like to serve this sliced , over rice topped with shredded cabbage , with the sauce drizzled on top.
Kimchi makes a good side dish , too.
