Step 1
Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, pear, and black pepper in a bowl. Whisk until sugar dissolves.
Step 2
Place beef short ribs in a large shallow dish or ziplock bag. Pour marinade over ribs, ensuring all pieces are coated.
Step 3
Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours, turning occasionally for even coating.
Step 4
Preheat grill to high heat (450–500°F). Oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove ribs from marinade, reserving the liquid. Pat ribs dry with paper towels.
Step 6
Grill ribs 3–4 minutes per side for medium doneness, until caramelized and cooked through. Work in batches to avoid crowding.
Step 7
Transfer ribs to a serving platter. Brush lightly with reserved marinade and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
