There's barbeque and then there's Korean barbeque, a blessed union of sweet and savory flavors and tender marinated meats. These Korean barbeque staples are more than delicious on their own, but they quickly become a well-rounded meal with the addition of rice, salad, and banchan side dishes such as kimchi or assorted pickles. Scroll through for our best Korean barbeque recipes, from delightfully chewy beef bulgogi to fall-off-the-bone short rib galbi, and from dak (chicken) to daeji (pork).

Beef Bulgogi

"I consider myself a bit of a bulgogi connoisseur," says community member JANIE12975. "I first tried bulgogi at church potlucks as a child. A sweet lady in our church always made it, since everyone requested it. Since I've grown up, I'm always on the search for Korean restaurants serving up some delicious bulgogi. Let me say, my search will go no further than my kitchen from now on. Love, love, LOVE this recipe."
