Wishing everyone a Happy 4th of July πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

While many of the readers here are enjoying a long weekend celebrating US Independence Day we have many all over the globe, from Asia to Europe, which is amazing to think about! πŸ™Œ

Since a lot of people are BBQ’ing this weekend I wanted to hit a specific type of BBQ that is one of my favorites… Korean BBQ. Also a favorite of BowTiedBull who are the reason I started Cooking with Octopod in the first place. So this could be considered an homage of sorts πŸ˜‚

But first…

Korean BBQ πŸ‡°πŸ‡· πŸ”₯ πŸ–

Confession time… I think Korean BBQ has more dynamic and exciting flavors than most πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ BBQ. While there are a variety of Korean BBQ meats, today we are talking all about beef… short rib galbi to be specific.

One of the fun parts of going out for Korean BBQ is the interactive nature of cooking your meats over a fire (99% of the time gas) and munching on a whole host of pickled side dishes (banchan) while making lettuce wraps doused in a flavorful sauce.

The issue is, it’s usually not cheap… inflation alone has already made dining out available for fewer people now as costs climb. Add to that, many times the gas grills at these restaurants are not optimal. Low heat output and not cooking over coals are not going to help maximize flavor.

So it should be a welcome surprise to find out that you can make Korean BBQ at home that will taste better than most restaurants… cheaper…. and the process is simple.
