Korean Ribz

Ingredients

For the Ribs

• 3–4 lbs flanken-cut beef short ribs (thin sliced across the bone)

• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

• 2–3 green onions, sliced

Marinade

• 1 cup soy sauce

• ½ cup brown swerve

• ¼ cup honey (optional but fire)

• 1 Asian pear or 1 regular pear, grated

• 6 cloves garlic, minced

• 1–2 tbsp ginger, grated

• ¼ cup mirin or rice wine vinegar

• ¼ cup sesame oil

• ½ cup water

• 1–2 tsp black pepper

• 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Prep the Marinade

In a mixing bowl, combine:
Soy sauce, brown swerve, honey, grated pear, garlic, ginger, mirin, sesame oil, water, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Stir until the sugar dissolves.

2. Marinate the Ribs

Rinse the ribs quickly under cold water to remove bone fragments.
Place them into a large zip bag or container and pour the marinade over.
Marinate at least 8 hours—12+ is best.

3. Grill or Broil

• Heat grill to medium-high.

• Shake off excess marinade and grill the ribs 4–5 minutes per side until caramelized.

• You want slight char but still juicy.

4. Serve

Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
Serve with steamed rice, kimchi, quick cucumber salad, or lettuce wraps.
