Juicy, tender Korean BBQ beef short ribs grilled to perfection with a sweet and savory marinade made from simple pantry staples. Perfect for quick weeknight dinners or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900 g) flanken-style beef short ribs, thinly sliced across the bone
  • ½ cup (120 ml) soy sauce, preferably low sodium
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) Asian pear or apple juice
  • 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Trim and slice the ribs across the bone into ¼-inch (6 mm) thick strips if not pre-sliced. (About 10 minutes)
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, toasted sesame oil, Asian pear or apple juice, rice vinegar, chopped green onions, red pepper flakes if using, and black pepper until sugar dissolves. (5 minutes)
  3. Submerge the sliced ribs in the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Cover with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours, ideally overnight.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 205°C). Clean and oil grates to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)
  5. Remove ribs from marinade, letting excess drip off. Place ribs on the hot grill in a single layer. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized crust forms with some charred spots but ribs remain juicy inside.
  6. Transfer ribs to a serving plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with extra chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. (5 minutes)

Notes

Marinate ribs for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, for best tenderness and flavor. Avoid overcooking to keep ribs juicy. Manage flare-ups by moving ribs to indirect heat and keep a spray bottle of water nearby. Rest ribs 5 minutes before serving to redistribute juices. Can substitute grill with grill pan or cast iron skillet if needed.
