Have you had Korean Kalbi (Galbi)? It is short ribs, cut flanken style, marinated and grilled. It was in that photo of my New Year’s foods. Here’s the photo, to which I added an arrow pointing to the Kalbi ribs. I cut them between the bones for ease of serving buffet-style.

The ribs are cut thin in strips across the rib bones.
I usually buy the flanken ribs at a Korean market, but was surprised to see it at my
local Stater Bros. Market, too.

I saw these! LOL, I saw these when I was looking up the short ribs, and I don't think I ever did. MAYBE in a taco, but it would have to be a very long time ago for me not to remember. Honestly, that's not surprising, I don't eat much red meat at all. I'm probably eating more recently than I have in my whole life, And probably the thing I eat the least of period is ribs. Even pork ribs is a pretty rare thing. When we get the pork ribs, it's either BBQ/grilling (maybe long-term roasted in oven) and/or Char-Siu.

These beef ribs look quite versatile. I can't believe in the course of my lifetime I never had one of those, but honest engine, I can genuinely almost swear by it, I don't think I've ever had one. If I did, I had no awareness of what it was. The closest I realistically may have come is some of the ribs ground into a burger mix somewhere. And THAT I will try if I get my hands on them, LOL... But that would probably still wait because for the first time, I can swear to you I know I'd put them on polenta. That means another batch for burgers, lol.

Speaking of short ribs, on the Alaska cruise I took in July one of my friends and I went to one of the ship’s restaurants for dinner one night. It was an upcharge restaurant that served food that wasn’t included in the main dining rooms.

My friend ordered the beef short ribs, which was described on the menu as “Spicy Stout Beef Short Ribs with Stout Orange blossom glaze”

I wish I had taken a picture of her food. It was served in a dish that was like a footed ice cream sundae tulip-style dish. The beef short rib was indeed “short” because it was only about 4 inches long. Served standing straight up in the footed sundae-style glass it was very fancy but very small. And the menu said “ribs” and it was only one small, single rib. And no accompaniments except a very thin piping of mashed potato garnish around the top of the glass.

The sundae-style glass was served standing in the middle of a large white plate, which made it appear even smaller.

We looked at each other and almost laughed, as the amount of food wouldn’t even have
been an appetizer.

It wasn’t like she was going to go hungry as we were on a cruise ship with plenty of food. In fact I think we walked by the pizza slice place so she could grab a slice of pizza.

But it was a funny experience.

How odd! I hope it was really, really tasty, at least!
