Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef short ribs (flanken cut)
- 0.5 cups Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 0.5 whole Pear or Asian pear, grated
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, grated pear, chopped green onions, rice vinegar, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 2
Rinse the beef short ribs under cold water to remove any bone fragments, then pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Place the short ribs in a large zippered plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them, ensuring the ribs are evenly coated.
Step 4
Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, for maximum flavor absorption.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly lit and glowing red with a light ash coating.
Step 6
Remove the short ribs from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Step 7
Place the ribs on the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until they are caramelized and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook as the thin ribs cook very quickly.
Step 8
Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Garnish with sesame seeds if desired and serve immediately with steamed rice, kimchi, or other Korean side dishes.
