Korean Ribs
Korean Ribs feature tender steak strips marinated in savory and slightly sweet soy-based sauce, then broiled to perfection—ideal for those craving bold flavors and easy grilling.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the steak into strips about 1 or 1 1/2 inch long.
- Marinate the steak strips in soy sauce, vegetable oil, sugar, cooking wine, Accent, pepper, chopped garlic, and chopped onion for about 30 minutes or more.
- Place the marinated steak strips on a broiler pan.
- Broil on both sides until brown, about 10 to 15 minutes on each side.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of ginger or a teaspoon of sesame oil to the marinade. If you don't have Accent seasoning, you can substitute with a bit of MSG or simply omit it. For a healthier option, you can use a low-sodium soy sauce to reduce sodium intake without sacrificing flavor. Ensure the steak is cut evenly for consistent cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious Korean ribs with a side of steamed rice and a refreshing salad, such as Twelve Hour Cabbage Slaw, to balance the rich flavors. You can also pair them with grilled vegetables or kimchi for an authentic experience. A light dipping sauce made from soy sauce and sesame oil complements the ribs perfectly.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Korean ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, you can use a microwave or broil them for a few minutes to regain that delicious char and flavor. If freezing, wrap them tightly and they'll be good for up to 3 months; thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
