Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef short ribs
- 0.75 cup Coconut aminos
- 0.5 cup Pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 6 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 4 units Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Place the beef short ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish suitable for marinating.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, pineapple juice, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the short ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 to 3 hours, preferably overnight for enhanced flavor penetration.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Remove the short ribs from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the marinade.
Step 6
Place the short ribs on the preheated grill. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until nicely charred and cooked through to your desired level of doneness.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the short ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Arrange the short ribs on a serving platter, garnish with additional chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve immediately.
