For people that don't mind a little bone-in action at a picnic.
Why it works:
Rib meat is often barbequed or braised due to it's tough connective tissue. Kalbi takes one steps to remedy this issue by cross cutting the meat against the grain. The cut is tough, and marinating in a fresh juice that has enzymes that will help break down the proteins is essential. This can be found in Asian Pear, Pineapple, or kiwi.
Kalbi is also called flanken cut or LA cut.
