Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Beef short ribs (flanken cut)
  • 0.5 cup Soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup Brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup Honey
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
  • 6 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 medium Asian pear, grated
  • 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, grated Asian pear, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 2

Add the beef short ribs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. If using a grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the short ribs from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and set the marinade aside. If desired, boil the reserved marinade in a saucepan for a few minutes to use as a sauce for serving.

Step 5

Place the short ribs on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the ribs are nicely charred and cooked through. Keep an eye on them, as the sugar in the marinade can cause them to burn quickly.

Step 6

Remove the ribs from the heat and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve hot with steamed rice, lettuce leaves, or other Korean side dishes like kimchi.
