I love kalbi. I'm sure I've talked about my love for Korean BBQ before, perhaps specifically kalbi, but. I. love. it. I love to eat so much of it that I can taste it when I burp. Hours later. Weird, right? My Korean relatives will stuff me with kalbi for consecutive meals and days because they know how much I enjoy it.
Anywho, I usually get my kalbi from a Korean takeout place, because I didn't make it very well... my previous efforts just didn't taste right. When I was shopping at the grocery store and saw the EXACT cut of meat I needed to try again, I bought it. Using some advice from my Mom, I pounded the rib meat flatter, added meat tenderizer, then marinated it in store-bought kalbi sauce and brown sugar. I let it sit in the fridge for two days before I grilled it up.
DELICIOUS. It's not as good as my grandmother's, but it'll do. I ate it with brown rice in an attempt to be healthy... not the same but still satisfying. I am thrilled I have regained confidence in my ability to make this. YUM.
