Kkotsal Gui
Grilled Boneless Short Rib
Yes, keto as served. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 Korean dishes.
What it is
Highly marbled boneless short ribs, often called 'flower meat' due to its appearance. Grilled to a tender finish and typically served with minimal seasoning to highlight its rich flavor.
Key ingredients
Boneless beef short rib, salt, black pepper, sesame oil (for dipping)
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugary marinades are used. Request plain grilling. Avoid sweet dipping sauces like ssamjang or ganjang-based sauces with sugar. Stick to sesame oil with salt/pepper.
Say this to the waiter (Korean)
꽃살 구이는 단 양념 없이 구워주시고, 단 소스는 빼주세요.
Please grill the Kkotsal Gui plain, with no sugary marinades. I'll need a non-sweet dipping sauce.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in dipping sauces (ssamjang, gochujang-based sauces, some soy sauce marinades). Large quantities of high-carb banchan if not careful.
