Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat beef ribs dry. Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Add beef ribs to marinade, toss to coat evenly, and let sit 8 minutes at room temperature.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a heavy skillet or grill pan over medium-high until it smokes, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Sear ribs without moving 2–3 minutes per side until edges caramelize and meat browns deeply.

  5. Step 5

    Pour remaining marinade into pan, tilting to coat ribs, and cook 1 minute until glaze sets.

  6. Step 6

    Slide onto a plate, scatter white scallion parts over top, drizzle with any pan glaze, and serve hot.
