Step 1
Pat short ribs dry with paper towels. Season all sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and pear in a small bowl.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Sear ribs in batches, 2-3 minutes per side, until deeply browned. Don't move them.
Step 5
Return all ribs to pan. Pour in marinade and water, scraping up browned bits.
Step 6
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 25–30 minutes until ribs are very tender.
Step 7
Uncover and increase heat to medium. Simmer 3–5 minutes until sauce reduces and coats ribs.
Step 8
Transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with remaining scallions and sesame seeds if desired.
