Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef short ribs
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce (low sodium, gluten-free if needed)
• 2 tablespoons Sugar substitute (erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Grated ginger
• 3 pieces Green onions, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 0.25 cup Pear (finely grated, optional for added flavor but can increase carbs)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the marinade. In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar substitute, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and sesame seeds. Stir well until the sweetener is dissolved.

Step 2

Slice the short ribs across the bone, approximately 1/4 inch thick. This is a traditional cut known as flanken style.

Step 3

Submerge the short ribs in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for enhanced flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove the short ribs from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid, and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 6

Grill the short ribs for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the meat is cooked through and has a nice char.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 8

Garnish the grilled ribs with sliced green onions before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy the flavors of Korean barbecue with a low carb twist!
