My love of root beer runs deep, so deep put your butt to…nevermind. Quite obviously this is far from the traditional Korean kalbi recipe, but I just can’t live without root beer in EVERYTHING.
Get this – the kids (esp the meat-hating Kid) LOVED THIS. They asked for thirds and even fourth servings – unheard of!
ingredients:
3 lbs short ribs
1/2 C soy sauce
1/2 C sugar
1Tbsp oil
1/2 tsp pepper
1 cloves garlic, minced.
1-1/2 cups Root Beer
Mix together the soy sauce, sugar, oil, pepper and garlic. Stirring slowly, add in the root beer. It will foam up rather quickly so I suggest using a large bowl.
In a ziploc bag or sealable container, place the ribs and pour the marinade on top. Marinate for 4-6 hours.
When you are ready, THROW OUT THE MARINADE and cook the ribs on a hot grill until done. Grilling the ribs really brings out a nice caramelization of the root beer. Just the tastiest ribs ever!
Kid's lunches, simple dinners and a whole lot of geeky baking.
I’m making this ASAP…
YUM!
I can see it now… Root Beer cookbook!
Yumm!!! You make the recipe seems so simple… you’ve inspired me to try this
Where did you find your meat? I never see it in the major markets. We usually get our marinated ribs from a Korean market nearby but I would love to try your recipe.
hello! what a great recipe using root beer! i’ll have to stop by the market to get those ribs!
loved the star wars glass on the tray!
@Kim You can the meat at the Korean market without marinade – in fact I’d recommend it. You never know how long the marinade has been sitting on it. Japanese markets carry the meat too.
Does this end up tasting particularly root beer-y? or is there just a hint of root beer?
Awesome use of root beer.
I love this recipe. I love the subtle Ice Cube reference even more!
Well played!
