Ingredients
- 3 strips beef ribs
- 1 tbsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped scallions
- 2 tbsp meat marinade
- 3 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp minced onion
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp garlic sauce
- 1 tbsp garlic steak sauce
- 3 tbsp Korean-style BBQ sauce
Instructions
- 1Score the beef ribs
Place the beef rib strips on a clean cutting board. Using a long, sharp knife, carefully score the meat with a diagonal flower pattern. This technique helps the meat absorb the marinade more effectively and improves tenderness.
Tip: Be careful not to cut all the way through the rib strip; aim for a depth of about halfway into the meat. - 2Prepare the first flavor: black pepper
Place the scored beef rib into a stainless steel bowl. Add black pepper, freshly chopped scallions, a splash of meat marinade, and a drizzle of sesame oil over the meat to prepare it for the black pepper flavor profile.
Tip: Using a stainless steel bowl helps maintain a cool temperature for the meat while you prepare the seasonings. - 3Massage the seasoning
Using your hand, thoroughly massage the marinade, black pepper, scallions, and sesame oil into the scored beef rib. Ensure that the ingredients penetrate the flower cuts for even flavor distribution.
Tip: Wear food-safe gloves while mixing to maintain hygiene and keep your hands clean. - 4Prepare the second flavor: garlic
Take a second piece of scored beef rib and place it in a bowl. Add the minced onion, scallions, minced garlic, a dollop of garlic sauce, and garlic steak sauce. Drizzle with a small amount of sesame oil to finish the preparation.
Tip: The combination of fresh garlic and garlic steak sauce provides a deep, savory aroma. - 5Blend the garlic marinade
Mix the beef rib with the garlic, onion, and sauces by hand until every part of the meat is well-coated. The thorough mixing ensures that the garlic flavor deeply infuses the beef.
Tip: Ensure the minced garlic and onion are pressed firmly against the meat to maximize flavor infusion. - 6Prepare the third flavor: Korean style
Place the final piece of scored beef rib into a small serving dish. Simply drizzle the Korean-style sauce directly over the meat from a squeeze bottle, ensuring a generous and even coating.
Tip: You can let the meat sit in the sauce for a few minutes before cooking to allow the flavors to deepen.
