Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef short ribs
- 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 scallions
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, minced garlic cloves, ground black pepper, ground ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk these ingredients together thoroughly until well combined.
Rinse the beef short ribs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the ribs in a shallow dish or a zip-top plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the short ribs ensuring they are thoroughly covered. Seal the dish with plastic wrap or the bag ensuring to remove excess air, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for the best flavor.
Before grilling, remove the ribs from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Once the grill is hot, place the beef short ribs on the grill. Cook each side for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the ribs are browned and the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F as measured with a meat thermometer.
While the ribs are grilling, thinly slice the scallions.
Once the ribs are cooked through and have a nice grill mark, remove them from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes to reabsorb the juices.
Serve the grilled beef short ribs hot, garnished with sliced scallions. Enjoy your low-fat grilled beef short ribs!
