This simple recipe for Kalbi, or Korean Beef Short Ribs, uses the Sous Vide method of cooking. Cooked low and slow, this international dish delivers tender, juicy boneless ribs that are perfect for a weeknight meal or an at-home dinner party with friends.
What is Sous Vide cooking?
Sous Vide Cooking is when you seal food in an airtight container, like a vacuum-sealed bag, and cook it in temperature-controlled water. This cooking technique produces results that are unachievable through any other cooking method.
Now that you understand the method, it’s time to get to cooking. Although these Korean Beef Short Ribs do cook for a full 48 hours, there are very few ingredients and minimal prep time. Just season and sear the beef, make the 6-ingredient marinade, place the beef and marinade in FoodSaver® Vacuum Seal Bags, seal the bags, and place them in your sous vide machine to do all of the work. The result is tender and juicy boneless beef ribs that are sure to be a hit no matter the occasion!
