Cuisine: Korean
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef short ribs
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 green onion, chopped
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the marinade for the short ribs. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of soy sauce, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of rice wine vinegar, 3 minced cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until the sugar is fully dissolved and the marinade is well mixed.
- Place the 2 lbs of beef short ribs into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring that they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. If you are using a charcoal grill, allow the coals to become ashed over before cooking. If using a gas grill, preheat for about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the short ribs from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade. Place the short ribs on the grill, bone side down, and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they develop a nice char and are cooked to your desired level of doneness. For optimal flavor, avoid moving the ribs too much while they cook.
- Once cooked, transfer the short ribs to a plate and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- While the ribs are resting, chop the green onion. This will be used as a garnish.
- After resting, slice the short ribs between the bones and arrange them on a serving platter. Sprinkle the chopped green onion on top for a fresh garnish.
- Serve the Korean barbequed short ribs with steamed rice and your choice of side dishes, such as kimchi or pickled vegetables. Enjoy your delicious meal!
Tips
- Marinate Overnight: For the best flavor, marinate the short ribs overnight. This allows the meat to absorb all the delicious flavors from the marinade, resulting in tender and juicy ribs.
- Don’t Rush the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and give the ribs enough time to develop a nice char. Avoid flipping them too often; let them sear for 5-7 minutes on each side for that perfect caramelization.
- Resting is Key: After grilling, let the ribs rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This step is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is packed with flavor.
- Garnish for Freshness: A sprinkle of chopped green onion not only adds a pop of color but also a fresh crunch that complements the rich flavors of the ribs.
- Pair it Right: Serve these ribs with steamed rice and traditional Korean side dishes like kimchi or pickled vegetables to enhance the overall dining experience.
