Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef short ribs (flanken-cut)
- 0.5 cups Soy sauce
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
- 3 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
- 0.25 cups Water
Instructions
Prepare the marinade by whisking together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, water, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a medium-sized mixing bowl until the sugar is dissolved.
Place the beef short ribs in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the ribs from the marinade, shaking off excess liquid, and let them come to room temperature for about 20 minutes. Discard the marinade.
Grill the ribs over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they develop a nice char and are cooked to your desired doneness.
Transfer the cooked ribs to a platter. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Sprinkle the ribs with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish before serving.
