How Do You Get Ribs Thin Enough?
Last week while we were traveling, we went to a wonderful Korean restaurant in Austin and it started my cravings for Galbi. I wanted to reproduce these at home. This galbi is a wonderful combination of sweet, smokey, and umami. My main concern was getting the ribs sliced thinly, wondering how I was going to do this since I hate hate hate touching meat. I know, rather silly for someone who is on a high-protein diet, but whatever. I’m finicky that way. My husband solved this by asking the butcher at the deli to slice ribs 1/4 inch thick and I came home with two pounds of them. Problem solved.

Korean Short Ribs are typically quite sweet, so I had to figure out how to reduce the glycemic load while keeping the flavor. I decided to try agave nectar and that worked. You could use brown sugar, honey, or anything else that will caramelize.
