Instructions: 1. MARINATE THE MEAT: Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a food processor and puree; transfer to a bowl. Add the ribs and let marinate at room temperature for at least 3 hours or refrigerate overnight.

2. Light a grill or preheat the broiler. Remove the ribs from the marinade and shake off any excess. Grill or broil the ribs until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Serve the short ribs with the accompaniments and let diners wrap their own meat.

NOTES: Kalbi is available pre-cut at Korean markets, both on and off the bone. Flanken-style, or L.A. cut, short ribs are sliced 1/2 inch thick across 3 ribs.

NOTES : The Korean town of Suwon, near Seoul, is a mecca for barbecued short ribs. The city even has a special rib factory with an excellent restaurant known for its secret marinade. After swearing that I wouldnt sell the marinade recipe to the competition, I got the management to share it with me.
