Galbijjim, AKA braised beef short rib stew, is a Korean traditional cuisine eaten during the Korean harvest festival, known as Chuseok. My grandmother didn't make it often when I was young, but now that I have kids, I wanted to try, so my kids would be familiar with Korean cuisine. This recipe is adapted from Crazy Korean Cooking's Galbijjim recipe. I tweaked their recipe by adding Korean pear, it's juice, and less soy sauce and malt (mulyeot). The Korean pear and it's juice add a subtle sweetness and tenderizes the beef so well, the meat will just melt in your mouth! This recipe is one of our favorite things to eat, and so I hope your family enjoys this recipe as much as mine!
