Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef short ribs (Korean-style cut)
- 1 cup Soy sauce
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 4 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Rinse the beef short ribs under cold water to remove any bone fragments. Pat them dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes (if using), and water until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Place the short ribs in a large sealable plastic bag or a shallow baking dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the ribs from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Reserve the marinade and transfer it to a small saucepan.
Grill the short ribs for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until slightly charred and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook as the thin cut can cook quickly.
While the ribs are grilling, bring the reserved marinade to a boil in the saucepan. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat. Use this as a basting sauce or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Once the ribs are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with additional chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve hot with steamed rice and a side of your favorite Hawaiian-style accompaniments, such as macaroni salad or grilled pineapple.
