Time 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 lb beef short ribs (flanken style, cut in 1/2-inch slices across the bones)
1/3 c soy sauce
1/3 c brown sugar
1/3 c rice wine
1 Tbsp sesame oil
2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper or gochujang
1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
1 red or green hot pepper, sliced
8 clove garlic, peeled
1 small asian pear - peeled, cored and quartered (you can use a regular pear or tart apple)
1/4 c water
1 piece fresh ginger (1 inch), peeled
2 tsp sesame seeds
4 to 6 fresh lettuce leaves
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
OPTIONAL ACCOMPANIMENTS
ssamjang (spicy korean soybean paste), for dipping
steamed white rice

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse short ribs in cold water, pat dry and place in a wide shallow bowl. In another bowl, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine, sesame oil, black pepper and cayenne.
  • 2. Put onion, chile pepper, garlic, pear and ginger in the work bowl of a food processor. Grind ingredients to a smooth purée, then add to soy sauce mixture. Add sesame seeds. Thin with ¼ cup water. Pour marinade over short ribs and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  • 3. Bring ribs to room temperature, drain and discard marinade. In the meantime, preheat grill or oven broiler.
  • 4. Cook short ribs on a hot grill or under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until nicely browned but juicy. Pile grilled meat on a platter, garnish with green onions and serve immediately with lettuce leaves on the side. Accompany with ssamjang and steamed rice, if desired.

These ribs were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. The marinade was easy to make and the ribs were very tender. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

These ribs were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. The flavor was great and the meat was very tender. I would recommend using less gochujang next time.
