As most of you know, I’m a huge fan of Asian food and flavors. Surprisingly, I’ve never had flanken cut short ribs (most familiar with the Korean style short ribs). I found them in the supermarket a few weeks back and grabbed some to try. I have to tell you – they are well worth it! They’re not too expensive, they’re extremely tender and delicious, and best of all – packed full of fats.

I didn’t have any Kimchi on hand, so I served with some purple cabbage, cilantro and a soy/vinegar based dipping sauce. Traditionally, these grilled ribs (kalbi kui) would be accompanied by some type of pickled spicy cabbage (kimchi). You can easily make your own, or just buy it in the store – it’s delicious!

Yields 4 servings of Asian Grilled Keto Short Ribs

The Preparation

Ribs and Marinade

6 large Short Ribs, flanken cut (~ 1 1/2 lb.)
1/4 cup Soy Sauce
2 tbsp. Rice Vinegar
2 tbsp. Fish Sauce

Asian Spice Rub

1 tsp. Ground Ginger
1/2 tsp. Onion Powder
1/2 tsp. Minced Garlic
1/2 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
1/2 tsp. Sesame Seed
1/4 tsp. Cardamom
1 tbsp. Salt

The Execution

1. Mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and fish sauce. You can optionally add some olive oil and sesame oil to the marinade.

2. Set short ribs in a casserole dish or container that has raised edges. Pour the marinade over the ribs and let sit for at 45-60 minutes.

3. Mix together the spice rub.

4. Empty marinade from the casserole dish, then pour the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.

5. Heat your grill and grill the ribs up! About 3-5 minutes per side depending on thickness.

6. Serve up with your favorite vegetables or side dish.
