Thoroughly thaw the beef short ribs and wash them in cold running water, carefully removing any bone fragments or debris from the cut surfaces.
In a blender, combine 2 cups of Jin-ganjang, 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of mirin, 2 cups of water, 1/2 cup of garlic, 1 tbsp of ginger, 1 cup of green onion, and 1/3 cup of sesame oil, then blend to create the base sauce.
Add the additional handful of garlic, handful of green onion, 3 Cheongyang chili peppers, and 5 tbsp of coarse red chili powder to the base sauce and blend again until smooth to complete the spicy galbi sauce.
To prevent the bones from puncturing the plastic, double up heavy-duty zipper bags to create a sturdy pouch.
Place the prepared ribs and spicy sauce into the double-layered zipper bags at a weight ratio of 2 parts meat to 1 part sauce.
Slowly submerge the zipper bags in water to remove all air, seal them, and place them in a sous vide water bath set to 75°C for 18 hours.
Three hours before the sous vide process is complete, remove the bags, add the thickly sliced radish and onions, reseal, and continue cooking for the remaining time.
Once cooking is complete, serve the ribs and the perfectly cooked vegetables together on a plate.
Wash the ribs in cold water to remove bone fragments, then blend chili peppers, red chili powder, garlic, and green onion into the base sauce to make the spicy sauce.
Place the ribs and spicy sauce into double-layered zipper bags at a 2:1 ratio, seal after removing the air, and cook sous vide at 75°C.
Three hours before finishing, add thickly sliced radish and onion to the bags and continue cooking until done.
Cooking tips 💡
Blending the red chili powder and Cheongyang chili peppers directly into the sauce ensures the spicy flavor is evenly distributed throughout the meat fibers during the long cooking process.
Since sous vide cooking prevents moisture evaporation, the intensity of the spice can increase during heating, so adjust the amount of Cheongyang chili peppers to your preference.
The long low-temperature cooking may cause the red color of the chili powder to darken slightly, but this does not affect the spicy and deep flavor of the dish.
