Ingredients

Marinade

  • 1 cup Soy sauce
  • ½ cup Brown sugar
  • ½ cup Water
  • ¼ cup Sesame or vegetable oil
  • 4 Garlic cloves peeled and minced
  • 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
  • 3 Sliced green onions

Ribs

  • 5 pounds Korean-style short ribs beef chuck flanken, cut across bones
  • Thinly sliced green onions for garnish, if desired

Instructions

  • Combine the Marinade: In a large, resealable plastic bag, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, sesame oil, garlic, rice vinegar, and sliced green onions. Massage the bag gently with your hands until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  • Marinate the Ribs: Add the ribs to the marinade, making sure each one is fully coated as it's added. Squeeze out all the air from the bag and seal it. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours, massaging the bag and turning it over a few times.
  • Preheat the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat (450-500℉).
  • Grill the Ribs: Remove the ribs from the bag one at a time, letting the excess marinade drip off and place it on the grill. There should be no overlap. Discard any remaining marinade. Grill each side for about 3-4 minutes or until they reach about 125-130℉.
  • Serve: Place ribs on a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in a resealable plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven, or eat them cold straight out of the fridge.
  • Make ahead: The uncooked beef can be frozen in the marinade for up to 6 months. Thaw in the fridge before grilling.
