Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef short ribs (flanken-cut)
• 0.5 cups Soy sauce
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
• 3 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
• 0.25 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the marinade by whisking together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, water, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a medium-sized mixing bowl until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 2

Place the beef short ribs in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the ribs from the marinade, shaking off excess liquid, and let them come to room temperature for about 20 minutes. Discard the marinade.

Step 5

Grill the ribs over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they develop a nice char and are cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked ribs to a platter. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

Sprinkle the ribs with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish before serving.
