July 2023

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup soy sauce

  • ¾ cup water

  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

  • ½ large onion, minced

  • ¼ cup minced garlic

  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • 1 tablespoon black pepper

  • 3 pounds Korean-style short ribs (beef chuck flanken, cut 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick across bones)

 

Method

Step 1:

Pour soy sauce, water, vinegar, and sesame oil into a large, non-metallic bowl. Whisk in onion, garlic, brown sugar, white sugar, and pepper, whisking until sugars dissolve. Submerge ribs in the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate 7 to 12 hours; the longer, the better.

Step 2:

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.

Step 3:

Remove ribs from marinade and shake off excess; discard marinade.

Step 4:

Cook on the preheated grill until the meat is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
