Judy Joo’s Korean-style barbecue beef contains a variety of beautiful textures: crunchy lettuce, sticky rice and the smoky, spicy meat. An adaptation of a classic Korean dish.
If you’re making a bbq feast, you should add Judy Joo’s chicken wing recipe to your menu, too.
Ingredients
- 1.5kg British beef short rib rack (also known as Jacob’s ladder), cut into ribs
- Cooked sushi rice and little gem lettuce leaves to serve
For the marinade
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 3½ tbsp dark brown sugar
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 2½ tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1½ tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 tsp grated ginger
For the ssam jang sauce
- 1 spring onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 4½ tbsp doenjang
- 3 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp gochujang
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
Method
- Put the beef into a large freezer bag or shallow container. Mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl, then massage into the meat. Cover, chill and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Heat the oven to 150°C/fan130°C/gas 2. Line a roasting tin with a large double layer of oiled foil and put the ribs on top. Seal the foil over the ribs to make a parcel and roast in the oven for 3 hours until tender and beginning to fall from the bone.
- To make the ssam jang sauce, mix all the ingredients together.
- Light the barbecue. Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the foil parcel, transfer them to the barbecue and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning once, until sticky and smoky. Shred the meat.
- Serve with cooked sticky rice, little gem lettuce leaves and the ssam jang sauce, for people to help themselves. To eat, put a small scoop of rice, a smear of sauce and a piece of beef into a lettuce leaf.

I love this recipe because it’s so simple yet incredibly impressive when we have guests round! And it is DELICIOUS :)
I love this recipe because I have most of the ingredients in my cupboard already. It looks aaaamazing and I can’t wait to impress my boyfriend with this – he is normally the better cook ;) but I know he will love just this. It’s getting just the weather for a bbq -perfect! x
