Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds beef short ribs, flanken cut across the bone
  • ½ cup (120 ml) low sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 2 stalks green onions, finely sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: 1 small Asian pear, grated

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by whisking together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, honey, rice wine vinegar, black pepper, and grated Asian pear if using in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the flanken-cut short ribs to the marinade, turning to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Alternatively, use a broiler indoors.
  4. Remove ribs from marinade, letting excess drip off but do not wipe dry. Grill ribs for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely charred and caramelized.
  5. While ribs cook, pour leftover marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened into a syrupy glaze.
  6. Brush the glaze onto ribs during the last minute on the grill for extra stickiness.
  7. Remove ribs from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

Marinate ribs at least 2 hours or overnight for best tenderness. Simmer leftover marinade to make a sticky glaze. Control heat to avoid burning and flip ribs only once or twice. Let ribs rest before serving to lock in juices. Use tamari for gluten-free option. Asian pear or apple can be substituted for tenderizing fruit.
