For this recipe you’ll need:
3 pounds beef short ribs boneless
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons ginger, freshly grated
2 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Steamed rice, see note below
Cut the short ribs lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices. Place the slices in a baking dish or sealable bag.
Whisk together the garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, scallions, sugar, vinegar, sesame seeds and black pepper. Pour this marinade over the sliced ribs and allow to marinate for 1 to 2 hours.
Heat a gas or charcoal grill over medium-low heat.
Grill the marinated rib slices until caramelized on the first side, 2 to 3 minutes.
Flip the slices over and continue to cook until the meat is just cooked through to a medium/medium-well doneness.
Serve the grilled ribs on a bed of steamed rice topped with Spicy Cucumber Salad.
Note:To steam jasmine rice, place the rice and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Pour in 11/2 times the amount of water to rice to the pot (e.g., 1 cup rice to 1 1/2 cups water), and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover. Cook, undisturbed, for 17 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to steam an additional 5 minutes. Remove the lid, fluff with a fork and serve.
