📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Galbi means 'ribs' in Korean: bone-in beef short ribs butterflied thin, marinated in a sweet-savory sauce, and grilled over charcoal. Grated pear or apple in the marinade tenderizes the meat and adds deep sweetness. It's the centerpiece of celebrations and family outings to barbecue restaurants.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a barbecue restaurant, galbi sizzles on the grill while family and friends snip it into pieces with scissors.
