Galbijjim or kalbijjim (IPA[kalpi tɕim]) is a variety of jjim or Korean steamed dish made with galbi (갈비, short rib). Beef galbi is sometimes referred to as "gari" (가리), so the dish can be called "garijjim". Galbijjim is generally made with beef or pork short ribs. In the latter case, it is called "dweji galbi". [1]

The preferred ingredient for galbijjim is ribs from a calf because of the tenderness and tastiness. Galbi is more expensive than other portions of beef in South Korea, so galbijjim has been regarded as a high-class dish.

Ribs are a fatty cut, so when cooking with the ingredient, surplus fat should be carefully removed. The first step in preparation of ribs is to soak in water for one or two hours in order to remove the blood.[1]
