What we had for dinner tonight:

Kalbi
(Korean Barbecue)

Marinade:

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, smashed with the side of your knife
2 inches ginger, peeled and smashed with the side of you knife
3 green onions, sliced
1 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. sesame oil

You can just do a rough chop on the garlic, ginger and onions since it is just a marinade and will be strained later.
  1. Combine all ingredients in a large ziploc bag,
  2. smoosh until well mixed,
  3. add meat of your choice (At the barbecue before last - the one at Katie's house, I made beef short ribs with this marinade, but it goes well with other cuts of beef, chicken, white fish or tofu. This marinade is generally enough for 2 1/2 - 3 lbs of meat.)
  4. marinate at least 3 hours.
  5. throw on the grill or roast under the broiler or in a grill pan or however you want to cook your meat.
  6. Serve with rice.
After removing the meat, pour the remaining marinade into a sauce pan and boil/simmer until it thickens up a bit, strain it through a fine mesh sieve and serve it with your dinner. Very easy. And since everyone seems to be ending their post this way: Y-U-M!

Yeah, get Jed on that and while your at it see if he will pose for a new background picture, the chile pepper just isn't cutting it.
