Korean-style/Kalbi Marinade

[Rich G]

I made this with some tri-tip steaks, but plan to use it on flank, skirt, and....oh, yeah, Kalbi!

Korean-Style/Kalbi Marinade:
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1/4 cup sake or rice wine
1/2 white onion, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves
2 tsp minced ginger
1/2 tsp black pepper

Rich this will be great on all those meats and a few more.
One thing we do as I am a type 2 diabetic, replace the sugar with honey. And add the plup of of ,pears,apples, etc to aide in tenderisation of the meat.

Kevin, I saw a lot of recipes that included some fruit for the tenderizing effect, but I didn't include it this time for two reasons......one, I didn't have any, and, two, I figured the tri-tip was plenty tender already. I think this could also benefit from the addition of some sweet or hot chili sauce. For the sweetener I think honey is a good sub, and if it's better for diabetics, then .

That looks like my kind of marinade. Made a copy of it for my marinade recipes.
Thanks for sharing it.

I posted in your steak thread that had this same marinade, but adding some gochujang or red chili flakes (Gochugaru) would be a nice addition.

Looks good, Brett. I like the one I did because it uses stuff that I am very likely to always have on hand. The one you linked has a few of the additional ingredients I saw in my search, and I'm sure would add some depth of flavor. Will have to save that one for when I feel like doing some recipe specific shopping.

Rich, good points, a substitute for pear or apple, is lime lime soda(diet for me) as it has the same type of acids in it. I have not used this myself as I am married to a pursuit.

I find grilled meats helps me recover, too.....they also help me prepare for surgery.

Good luck with your procedure, and enjoy your eats!
