Description

Savor the flavors of Korean beef short ribs with our authentic recipe at Tales Of A Kitchen. Learn the secrets to tender meat infused with savory-sweet marinade


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef short ribs
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, green onions, black pepper, and water. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Marinate the Ribs: Place the beef short ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If cooking indoors, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with foil.
  4. Grill or Bake the Ribs: Remove the ribs from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off. Grill the ribs for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until they are nicely charred and cooked through. If baking, place the ribs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through.
  5. Serve: Transfer the cooked ribs to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve hot with steamed rice and Kimchi Stew.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add a tablespoon of gochujang (Korean red pepper paste) to the marinade.
  • You can also cook the ribs in a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours for an ultra-tender result.
  • Always allow the ribs to rest for a few minutes before serving to enhance flavor absorption.
