焖牛排/Braised beef short ribs/갈비찜

每逢喜庆佳节，焖牛排(소갈비찜)这道菜也是韩国主妇们喜欢烹调的菜肴。在韩国的超级市场可以买到现成的酱料(소갈비 양념장)，也可以自制。即使是买现成的酱料，在醃的时候，不妨加入新鲜的梨汁或者奇异果（kiwi）汁，肉质会更柔软。。。。

For celebrating the Lunar New Year / Moon Festival or any other special functions, braised beef short ribs is one the Korean housewives favorite dishes. We can buy the beef marinade(소갈비 양념장) at the Korean supermarket or make it by ourselves. Even though we buy the ready made beef marinade, it is better to add in  fresh pear juice or kiwi juice for marinating, the rib will be more tender........
