Korean BBQ Short Ribs (Galbi)

Ingredients

• 2½ lb flanken-cut beef short ribs
• ½ cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup water
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 6 clove garlic
• 1 inch ginger
• ½ Asian pear
• 3 green onions
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Steps

1. Rinse short ribs under cold water and pat dry. In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, water, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and grated Asian pear to create the marinade.
2. Add the short ribs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, turning occasionally.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the short ribs from the marinade, shaking off any excess.
4. Grill the short ribs for 2-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness, until nicely caramelized and cooked through.
5. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds, if using. Serve immediately with rice and banchan (side dishes).
