Where it comes from

Korean BBQ Beef Short Ribs, known as Galbi, is a beloved dish that embodies the essence of Korean barbecue culture. This dish has evolved over centuries, becoming a centerpiece for family gatherings and celebrations. Interestingly, the marinade often includes pear, which not only tenderizes the meat but also adds a hint of sweetness that enhances the overall flavor.
