Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Beef short ribs (flanken-style cut)
  • 0.5 cup Soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup Brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
  • 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
  • 0.5 whole Pear, grated
  • 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the short ribs under cold water to remove any bone fragments and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, grated pear, chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the short ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow container, and pour the marinade over them, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the container, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or broiler to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove the short ribs from the marinade, letting the excess liquid drip off. Discard the marinade.

Step 6

Grill or broil the short ribs for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are nicely caramelized and cooked through.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked short ribs to a platter and garnish with additional chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with steamed rice and side dishes like kimchi or pickled vegetables.
