Ingredients

  • 2 lb beef short ribs
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 stalks green onions
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 3 minced garlic cloves until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 2 lb short ribs and sear until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pour the soy sauce mixture over the ribs. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the ribs are tender and the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.
