Slow Cooker Korean Short Ribs (Galbi Jjim)One of my favorite dishes from my childhood is my mom’s Galbi Jjim, which literally means “braised short ribs” in Korean. In the original recipe, thick cut ribs are cooked with potatoes, carrots, and radish in soy sauce, sweetened with brown sugar or corn syrup. It’s absolutely delicious and it’s one of those crowd favorite dishes. While I love the original recipe, I wanted to recreate it using Paleo-friendly ingredients: coconut aminos, instead of soy sauce, and a blended Asian pear, instead of sugar. I think it’ll also work fine with a regular pear.Slow Cooker Korean Short Ribs (Galbi Jjim)

My substitutions worked out so, so well! And everything was easy peasy with the slow cooker. The meat fell off the bones effortlessly, was ridiculously tender, and had a great balance of salty and sweet. Also, I’m not sure if you’ve tasted cooked daikon radish before, but it’s the bomb. I think it really makes this dish.

Serve it with some rice and a side of kimchi, and you got a yourself a delicious Korean meal! My mom would be proud.

    I just put together the ingredients for the Korean Short Ribs. What do I do with the pulped Asian pear?

      Pour it over the short ribs in the slow cooker as sauce before cooking it!
