Savor Umami Bliss with these Grilled Korean-Style Short Ribs

Korean-style short ribs, also known as kalbi, are strips of beef cut across the rib bones. Look for Korean short ribs (also called flanken-style ribs) or have a butcher cut them for you. Korean ribs are often flavored with gochujang, a chile paste made from fermented soybeans mixed with red peppers, salt, and sugar that has a vinegary, spicy flavor. Look for a bright-red container in the Asian ingredients section of your grocery store or head to an Asian market to choose from a number of options. To turn these ribs into a traditional meal, serve the meat on lettuce leaves (green or red leaf) with cooked short-grain white rice and kimchi.
