Easy Korean KALBI (BBQ short ribs) recipe

How to make kalbi pretty :p

OK! As a request from one of my cousins again, I'm putting "something that is MORE meaty.";D Get excited, people!
 If there is one cuisine that my bf and I cannot survive without, it's Korean! That is why I cook a lot of Korean-inspired food since... what's not to love with all this spicy sexiness, right?
The last kalbi my Dad & I cooked was amazing--even if we had to use our conventional oven. (We live on the 10th floor of a city condo, we DON'T have a backyard.) But to those who can grill outside, consider yourself lucky! So the following is a Kalbi recipe taken from my oh-so-favourite website: Allrecipes.com. I somehow lost the Kalbi recipe that I used last time, but this one is pretty close and is more apt for those who are in the Philippines.  The ingredients here are all available over there; no North American mumbo-jumbo. Now, the secret is in the MARINADE. I tweaked the recipe a little bit to make it more awesome. If you see green, it's me adding some stuff.

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

3/4 cup soy sauce 3/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup water 1 garlic clove, minced

2 green onions, chopped 1 tablespoon Asian (toasted) sesame oil 2 pounds Korean-style short ribs (beef chuck flanken, cut 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick across bones)

Directions:

1.	In a bowl, stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar, hot sauce (if you want it spicy), water, garlic, green onions, and sesame oil until the sugar has dissolved. Put away about 1/4 cup of marinade in a tiny bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate <- we will turn this into gravy later.
2.	Place the ribs in a large plastic zipper bag. Pour the [main] marinade over the ribs, squeeze out all the air, and refrigerate the bag overnight. Sorry, you won't get to eat it till tomorrow. :p
3.	THE NEXT DAY: Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove the ribs from the bag and grill them. (Remember the small bowl of marinade we put in the fridge? Add a bit of cornstarch/flour into it and stir. Keep stirring & adding starch to make it thicker.)  Then slather the gravy on the ribs while you are grilling them. This way, your ribs will be super saucy! ^_^ Mmmm.. Now they're done! Enjoy!
