Ingredients
- 4 pounds Beef short ribs
- 1 cup Soy sauce
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Sesame oil
- 8 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Ginger, grated
- 4 Green onions, chopped
- 0.25 cup Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved and all ingredients are well mixed.
Step 2
Place the short ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are completely coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Step 4
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the short ribs from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Grill the ribs for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, until they are deeply caramelized and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked ribs to a serving platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
Step 8
Serve the Korean short ribs with steamed rice and kimchi on the side for a traditional experience.
