Grill/Barbecue
Korean Beef BBQ Salad
- Serves 4
Author Notes
This recipe comes from the folks at Bud & Marilyn's in Philly, and it's got all the things we want in a salad: Lots of greens, seasonal produce, and flavorful protein. The short rib marinade is really the secret weapon here: It goes well with steak, pork, or chicken. You could even baste a piece of fish or tofu. Of note: Your grill must be hot so your ribs don't stick to the grates. Not in the mood to cook tonight? Order it exclusively through Caviar's Secret Menu. —Food52

Directions
- Mix asian pear, garlic, tamari, gochuchgang, ginger, brown sugar, sesame oil together to make marinade.
- Slice the shortrib, against the grain into 1/8th inch thick pieces. If shortrib isn't easy to slice, wrap and put in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up the meat.
- Rub marinade into the sliced shortrib. Any extra unused marinade will keep in the fridge for 4 days, or will freeze nicely. Marinate beef for 1-12 hours.
- Toss wax beans in extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper and grill for 30 seconds.
- Lightly grill corn and slice kernels off.
- Soak red onion and radishes in ice water for 5 minutes.
- Place the shortrib slices on a hot grill or grill pan and grill for 30-45 seconds on each side. Set the meat aside.
- Whisk olive oil, rice wine vinegar, grated carrots, ginger, lime juice, honey, sesame oil and salt in a bowl.
- In a large serving bowl, add the watercress, radicchio and frisee. Pour ¼ cup of ginger-carrot dressing around the inside of the bowl. Season with a teaspoon salt and 6 grinds of fresh black pepper. Gently toss the greens with the dressing.
- Add the tomatoes, grilled beans, grilled corn, red onion, radishes, Asian pear, ½ teaspoon salt, 2-3 tablespoons carrot-ginger dressing and gently toss, divide on the 4 plates.
- Place 4-5 slices of the shortrib on top and garnish with ¼ of sliced avocado, 4 cilantro sprigs, 5 thai basil leaves and toasted sesame seeds.
