This recipe features tender, juicy Korean BBQ short ribs marinated in a quick and easy sesame ginger sauce, delivering a perfect balance of nutty, sweet, and savory flavors with a caramelized crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds flanken-cut beef short ribs
  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the short ribs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat if desired.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, brown sugar, rice vinegar, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes until sugar dissolves.
  3. Add the ribs to the bowl or transfer everything to a zip-top bag. Toss or massage the marinade over the meat to coat all pieces. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, ideally overnight.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat or set oven broiler to high. If using a grill pan, heat over medium-high on stovetop.
  5. Remove ribs from marinade, letting excess drip off and discard leftover marinade. Arrange ribs in a single layer on grill or pan.
  6. Cook ribs 5-7 minutes per side, flipping once, until nicely charred and cooked through but still tender.
  7. Transfer ribs to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds if available.

Notes

Marinate ribs for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, for best flavor and tenderness. Avoid overcrowding the grill to ensure proper searing. Use medium-high heat to prevent sesame oil from burning. Flip ribs only once to develop a good char. Let ribs rest after cooking to redistribute juices. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Optional: brush extra marinade during last minute of cooking for more glaze but watch carefully to avoid burning.
