Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds flanken-style beef short ribs
  • 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Optional: pinch of black pepper or dash of chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by whisking together gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, and water in a large bowl until thick but pourable.
  2. Place the beef short ribs in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal and massage to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours for best flavor and tenderness.
  3. Make the sesame glaze by mixing toasted sesame oil and brown sugar in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture is glossy. Set aside to cool.
  4. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove ribs from marinade, shaking off excess. Grill ribs for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked to medium-rare or medium.
  6. During the last minute of cooking, brush ribs generously with the sesame glaze on both sides.
  7. Let ribs rest for 5 minutes after cooking. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving.

Notes

Marinate ribs overnight for best tenderness and flavor. Pat ribs dry before grilling to avoid flare-ups. Brush sesame glaze at the end to prevent burning. Let ribs rest after cooking to lock in juices. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Can be baked or broiled if no grill is available.
