Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup grated Asian pear
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp thinly sliced green onion
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Grate the pear, garlic, and ginger into a medium bowl until you have a wet paste that measures about 1/3 cup.
  2. Whisk in the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, green onion, and sesame seeds until the sugar dissolves and the mixture looks glossy, about 1 minute.
  3. Pour the marinade over 2 to 3 pounds of short ribs, turn to coat, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 before cooking.

Notes

The hands-on time is quick, but the marinade needs at least 2 hours with the meat for the flavor to penetrate. Overnight is even better. If using flanken-cut short ribs, they cook fast and can char easily, so watch them closely on the grill.
