🥩 Home BBQ Tips: Angus Short Rib (LA Galbi Style)

✨ What Is It?

Angus Short Rib, cut LA Galbi-style, means the meat is sliced thin *across* the bone. This results in beautiful, cross-sectioned ribs that cook quickly and soak up marinade wonderfully. At GMGP, we use thick, meaty slices (~1cm) that are deeply marinated for bold flavour and a juicy finish.

💡 Why It's Called "LA Galbi"

The name “LA Galbi” doesn’t come from Korea—it comes from Los Angeles! Korean immigrants in the U.S. began slicing beef short ribs across the bone so they could marinate and grill them faster at large gatherings. This style spread quickly, becoming a staple at Korean BBQs worldwide.

🎉 Why It’s a Best-Seller

  • ✅ Marinated and ready-to-cook — perfect for busy weeknights.
  • ✅ Rich, savoury flavour with a satisfying chew from the bone-in cut.
  • ✅ A favourite with families and BBQ lovers alike.
  • ✅ Restocked often, but sells out fast!

🔥 How to Cook

Cooking Method Instructions
Pan Fry Medium heat, ~8 mins total. Flip twice. Don't cover.
Charcoal BBQ Grill low and slow, ~5 mins per side. Crisp edges = best flavour.

Prep Tip: Thaw overnight in the fridge or for 1 hour at room temp. Pat dry slightly before cooking for better caramelisation.

🍴 How to Enjoy It Korean-Style

Serve with rice, ssamjang (Korean dipping paste), and fresh veggies. Wrap each piece in lettuce or perilla leaf with a little garlic and rice for the perfect “ssam” bite. It’s also a beloved dish for Korean holiday meals and weekend BBQs with family.

Wagyu Hanging Tender | Also known as: Wagyu Thick Skirt

Wagyu Hanging Tender | Also known as: Wagyu Thick Skirt

🇦🇺 Wagyu Hanging Tender Also known as: Wagyu Thick Skirt, 토시살 ✨ Artisan Cut with History Once known only to butchers and chefs, the Hanging Tender has long been a hidden gem. Nestled along the diaphragm, it’s one of the few single-muscle cuts—meaning incredible uniformity in texture and flavour. Often called the “butcher’s steak,” it was rarely sold to the public, with many professionals keeping it for themselves. Today, it’s finding its way onto fine-dining menus around the world, especially in Australia and Japan, where wagyu elevates its natural richness to a whole new level. 🥩 What It Tastes Like The Hanging Tender offers a deep, savoury flavour—intense but clean—with a buttery mouthfeel and just enough bite to satisfy serious meat lovers. Thanks to its coarse grain, it absorbs seasoning beautifully and caramelises perfectly on high heat. 🔥 How to Cook It Perfectly Grill or Pan-Sear (Recommended) 🌡️ Rest before cooking: Bring to room temperature 30 mins before grilling. 🧂 Light seasoning: Just salt & pepper highlights the flavour. 🔥 High heat sear: Sear both sides for 2–3 mins to develop a crust. 🌡️ Cook to Medium Rare: Internal temp of ~54–57°C. 🪓 Slice against the grain: Maximises tenderness. Pro Tip: Due to its unique structure, always cook as a whole piece before slicing—never in strips! 🍷 What to Pair It With WineA full-bodied Shiraz or a bold Malbec enhances the depth and umami. Side DishesTruffle mashed potatoesGrilled king mushrooms or caramelised onionsCreamy horseradish or mustard sauce Korean-style쌈과 된장, 구운 마늘과 함께 즐기면 풍미가 배가됩니다. 🛒 Available at GMGP GMGP’s Wagyu Hanging Tender is hand-trimmed, thick-cut, and delivered fresh for your next BBQ.
