Ingredients

  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 6 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • ½ medium pear, grated
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 lbs beef short ribs, cut thin across the bone
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
  • 3 stalks green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, pear, and black pepper in a bowl. Whisk until sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Place beef short ribs in a large shallow dish or ziplock bag. Pour marinade over ribs, ensuring all pieces are coated.

  3. 3

    Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours, turning occasionally for even coating.

  4. 4

    Preheat grill to high heat (450–500°F). Oil the grates to prevent sticking.

  5. 5

    Remove ribs from marinade, reserving the liquid. Pat ribs dry with paper towels.

  6. 6

    Grill ribs 3–4 minutes per side for medium doneness, until caramelized and cooked through. Work in batches to avoid crowding.

  7. 7

    Transfer ribs to a serving platter. Brush lightly with reserved marinade and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
