Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat pork ribs dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk grated pear, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil in a bowl until sugar dissolves.

  3. Step 3

    Place ribs in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over ribs, coating evenly.

  4. Step 4

    Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

  5. Step 5

    Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grates to prevent sticking.

  6. Step 6

    Remove ribs from marinade, letting excess drip off. Reserve marinade in a small bowl.

  7. Step 7

    Grill ribs 5–6 minutes per side, basting with reserved marinade halfway through, until charred and cooked through.

  8. Step 8

    Transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot.
