Ingredients
- 4 pounds Beef short ribs, flanken cut
- 1 cup Soy sauce, low-sodium
- 2 tablespoons Sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, fresh and grated
- 0.5 Pear, grated
- 3 Scallions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, for garnish
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cutting the beef short ribs across the bone into thin slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick. This is known as the flanken cut.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, sugar substitute, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, grated pear, and chopped scallions. Stir until the sugar substitute is dissolved and the ingredients are well mixed.
Step 3
Add the sliced short ribs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the ribs for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat. For best results, marinate overnight.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the ribs from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip back into the bowl. Discard the used marinade.
Step 6
Grill the ribs for about 5-7 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until the meat is cooked through and nicely charred around the edges.
Step 7
Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Step 8
Garnish with sesame seeds and additional chopped scallions before serving, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
