Start by preparing the marinade in a medium-sized bowl. Combine olive oil, low-sodium soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, and ground black pepper.
Place the beef short ribs in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 to 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the ribs from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use.
Place the ribs on the grill and cook for about 15 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have developed a nice char. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
While the ribs are grilling, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Once the ribs are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill, and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
Slice the ribs between the bones and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle with the reduced marinade, and garnish with chopped green onions and optional sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy grilled beef short ribs.
