Galbitang

Galbitang is a Korean soup made with beef short-ribs. This delicious soup is eaten as a stand-alone meal, and it is prepared by boiling short-ribs and a whole radish for about 4 to 5 hours. When cooked, the meat is flavored with scallions, garlic, ground pepper, soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and salt.

It is then placed back into the broth along with the sliced radish. This soup is similar to seolleongtang, which is made with ox bones. Due to the fact that beef ribs are an expensive cut of meat, galbi-tang is considered to be a rather special dish, thus being served on special occasions, such as weddings and banquets.
