Ingredients:
- 2 kgs of Korean-style beef short ribs
- 1 pear, grated (preferably Asian pear)
- 6 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
-4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, grated
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon rice wine (or mirin)
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Sesame seeds for garnish
* Optional: 1 tablespoon Gochujang (Korean chili paste) for a spicy kick
Method:
1. Marinate the Ribs:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated pear, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated onion, green onions, grated ginger, rice wine, and black pepper. Mix well. Add Gochujang if you prefer a spicy marinade.
Add the ribs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Prepare Your Grill:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly spread and create a medium-hot zone and a cooler zone.
3. Grill the Ribs:
Remove the ribs from the marinade and shake off excess. Grill the ribs, turning occasionally, until they are nicely browned and cooked to your desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
4. Rest and Serve:
Let the ribs rest for a few minutes after removing them from the grill. Then cut between the bone and serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds.
Optional Side Dishes:
Serve with steamed rice, kimchi, and a fresh salad for a complete Korean BBQ experience.
