Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef short ribs (flanken cut)
- 0.5 cups Soy sauce
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 0.5 pear Pear (grated or pureed)
- 2 stalks Green onion (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, grated pear, chopped green onion, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until the sugar is dissolved and the marinade is well combined.
Rinse the flanken-cut beef short ribs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Place the beef short ribs into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight to marinate. Turn the ribs occasionally to ensure even coating with the marinade.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the beef short ribs from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the short ribs for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are caramelized and slightly charred. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the ribs.
Transfer the ribs to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish, if desired.
Serve the Korean BBQ grilled beef short ribs immediately with steamed rice and your favorite side dishes, such as kimchi or pickled vegetables.
