How to make korean simmered beef short ribs (kalbi jjim)

• Separate beef ribs and remove visible fat. Place in a large saucepan.

If you wish, you can prepare the ribs to this point ahead of time. Cover and chill until needed. When ready to serve, remove the fat that has come to the top and return meat to saucepan.
