Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 2 lbs beef short ribs

Marinade

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and ingredients are well blended.
  2. Marinate the ribs: Place the beef short ribs in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
  3. Preheat the grill: Prepare your grill for medium-high heat to create the perfect caramelization on the ribs when cooking.
  4. Grill the short ribs: Remove the ribs from the marinade, shaking off excess liquid. Grill the ribs for approximately 3-4 minutes per side or until the meat is caramelized and cooked to desired doneness, turning carefully to avoid losing the marinade glaze.
  5. Rest and serve: Let the ribs rest for a few minutes after grilling to redistribute the juices before serving hot.

Notes

  • For best results, marinate ribs overnight to enhance the depth of flavor.
  • Adjust grilling times according to the thickness of the ribs.
  • Serve with steamed rice and Kimchi for a traditional Korean meal.
  • Use a grill pan indoors if an outdoor grill is unavailable.
  • To reduce sodium, opt for low-sodium soy sauce.
