Notes

  1. Marinating Time: Marinating the beef short ribs overnight will result in more flavorful and tender meat, but if you're short on time, marinating for at least an hour will still enhance the flavor.
  2. Adjust Seasoning: Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. You can increase or decrease the amount of sugar, soy sauce, garlic, or ginger to suit your liking.
  3. Vegetables: While carrots and potatoes are commonly used in galbi jjim, you can also add other vegetables such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or radishes for additional flavor and texture.
