Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Beef short ribs (flanken cut)
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 3 tbsp Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 6 count Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tbsp Ginger (grated)
- 1 count Asian pear (grated)
- 3 stalks Green onion (finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Mirin
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
Instructions
Rinse the beef short ribs under cold water to remove any bone fragments and then pat dry with paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, grated Asian pear, chopped green onions, rice vinegar, and mirin. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the ingredients are thoroughly blended.
Place the short ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, making sure each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Marinate the ribs in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, turning occasionally to ensure even marination.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Remove the short ribs from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the ribs for 3-4 minutes per side or until they develop a deep, caramelized char. Flip only once to avoid overcooking.
Transfer the cooked ribs to a serving platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired.
Serve immediately with steamed rice, kimchi, and fresh lettuce leaves for wrapping the ribs.
