πŸ“ Instructions

8 steps
1

Rinse the beef short ribs thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the ribs in a large, resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.

2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, pineapple juice, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and half of the chopped green onions to create the marinade.

3

Pour the marinade over the beef ribs, ensuring all pieces are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or, ideally, overnight for maximum flavor.

4

When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

5

Remove the ribs from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Reserve the leftover marinade in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil for at least 5 minutes to use as a glaze or sauce while grilling.

6

Place the ribs on the preheated grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until nicely charred and cooked to your desired level of doneness.

7

Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and the remaining chopped green onions for garnish.

8

Serve the ribs hot with lime wedges on the side, if desired. They pair beautifully with steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or a refreshing side salad.
