Cooking Instructions

Pan Frying

Heat up a large nonstick pan or skillet on high heat. Add Galbi to the pan/skillet, ensuring enough space between the Galbi pieces for even cooking. Sear over high heat and grill for approximately 4 minutes on one side, then 2 minutes on the other side - until they develop a beautiful caramelization. Once the meat takes on a rich golden-brown color, remove them from the heat.

Oven

Set the oven to bake at 450°F. Lay the Galbi pieces on an oven-safe pan, making sure they don't overlap. Bake for 6 minutes, then flip the Galbi pieces and bake for an additional 4 minutes.

Air Fryer

Place Galbi pieces in air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook at 400F for 6 minutes, then flip the Galbi pieces and cook for an additional 4 minutes.

Optional: Galbi is often enjoyed wrapped in red leaf lettuce. The crunchy freshness of the lettuce beautifully offsets the rich, savory flavor of the marinated beef short ribs.
