Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, pear, and black pepper in a bowl. Whisk until sugar dissolves.

  2. Step 2

    Place beef short ribs in a large shallow dish or ziplock bag. Pour marinade over ribs, ensuring all pieces are coated.

  3. Step 3

    Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours, turning occasionally for even coating.

  4. Step 4

    Preheat grill to high heat (450–500°F). Oil the grates to prevent sticking.

  5. Step 5

    Remove ribs from marinade, reserving the liquid. Pat ribs dry with paper towels.

  6. Step 6

    Grill ribs 3–4 minutes per side for medium doneness, until caramelized and cooked through. Work in batches to avoid crowding.

  7. Step 7

    Transfer ribs to a serving platter. Brush lightly with reserved marinade and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
