Korean Ribs at oldfatguy.ca

I love short ribs. No cuisine does short ribs better than Korean. I had some ribs and decided to pay homage to Korean flavours when I cooked them in my smoker. In doing so, I apologize to every Korean out there. This is not an original Korean recipe it is just my poor attempt to introduce some of the flavours of your great beef dishes.

I mixed soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and sriracha. I put the ribs in a resealable bag with the marinade.

Korean Ribs 01

I let the ribs sit overnight.

In the morning, I took the ribs out of the marinade and reserved the marinade. I put the ribs on a rack and put them in the fridge for two hours, uncovered.

I fired up the Louisiana Grills smoker to 230 F and put the ribs on for 3 hours. You can make this dish in a 230 F oven but you will not have the nice smoke taste.

Korean Ribs 02

I put some onion chunks and a couple of cloves of garlic in a roasting pan. I poured the reserved marinade in and put the roast in the pan. I covered it with foil and smoked for 2 hours.

Korean Ribs 03

I took the ribs out of the pan and put them back in the smoker. I took the pan inside and strained the liquid in it. I defatted the liquid and added mixed 50 ml (1/4 cup) of the liquid with 50 ml (1/4 cup) HP Sauce.

For you uninitiated Americans, HP sauce is a spicy/sweet steak sauce eaten in civilized countries like Canada. Feel free to substitute the inferior American steak sauce of your choice.

I brushed the ribs with this mixture and smoked for 20 minutes. I gave them a second brushing with the liquid and smoked for an additional 20 minutes.

Korean Ribs 04

Take the ribs off and let them rest for a few minutes.

Cut them into serving size pieces.

Korean Ribs 05

We served these with smashed grilled potatoes and a green bean salad.

The Verdict

The seasonings and baste were perfect! A nice touch of sweet, some spice, and a deep meaty flavour. So good. The meat was wonderfully moist but had a touch of toughness. If I am going to do more thick meaty short ribs like this, I think I am going to add 1/2 hour to the time under foil. That being said, these tasted terrific and vanished quickly!

    1. Har. No offence intended. I just grew up with HP and feel sorry for those who don’t have access to it! Thanks for the kind words.

  1. I just had some Korean short ribs from a restaurant recently – so good, but I bet if I make it at home I’ll like it even better

    1. Well, I would usually agree with you, Rahul. However, I have had some great Korean ribs in restaurants. These are very good though!
