What Are Short Ribs?

Beef short ribs are a cut of beef taken from the brisket, chuck, plate, or rib areas of beef. The cut is literally the short section of the rib bone, hence where it gets its name: short ribs. Short ribs can be bought in different sizes: some are cut thin, some thick, some with bones, some with bones removes.

What Is Kalbi?

Kalbi aka "Los Angeles Galbi" are Korean beef short ribs. Kalbi uses bone-in short ribs that are flaken cut lengthwise across the bones. Koreans refer to it as LA Galbi because it originated in Los Angeles's Koreatown. I have lived in LA for over 16 years now and let me tell you, there's nothing like good kalbi from a small restaurant in Ktown! Because Kalbi uses short ribs that are thinly sliced, they are great for marinating and they cook quickly. These short ribs are usually grilled but here we are cooking the kalbi short ribs in the air fryer.

What Is An Air Fryer?

The name air fryer is a little bit confusing, because when you cook food in your air fryer you aren't actually frying it. An air fryer cooks your food by circulating hot air around the food at a very high-speed, cooking the food and producing a crispy 'fried' layer. This is called convection so your air fryer is actually a small countertop convection oven. An air fryer can help you cook your food faster while still getting a nice baked or fried texture on the outside, all with a very small amount of oil. Air fryers come in a variety of different sizes and styles. I use a 5.8-quart air fryer and I still had to cook my 2 pounds of short ribs in batches.

Homemade Marinade

This recipe is all about the marinade. The marinade is what I refer to as the trifecta: low-carb, paleo, and whole30 compliant which means there's no sugar. You don't need sugar trust me. After a few rounds of recipe testing, I realized that less ingredients was better.  As you are making the sauce, give it a taste. If you think it needs more salt, add more salt. Want more ginger? Add more ginger. You see where I'm going here right? Make the sauce work for you. The beef can sit in the marinade for up to 24 hours; I usually marinate mine for about 6 hours. If you're in a hurry, you can do a quick 30-minute marinade.
