🥘Ingredients

For the Marinade

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons sesame oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup chopped green onions

For the Short Ribs

2 pounds beef short ribs, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds for garnish
2 green onions, sliced for garnish

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and chopped green onions until the sugar dissolves completely.
2This marinade will provide the sweet and savory base for the ribs.
3Place the beef short ribs in a resealable plastic bag or a baking dish, then pour the marinade over them, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
4Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to overnight, turning occasionally to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
5Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F, or set your oven broiler to high.
6Remove the ribs from the marinade and let any excess drip off, reserving the remaining marinade for basting.
7Lightly brush the grill grates or a broiler pan with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
8Place the ribs on the grill or broiler pan and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, basting with the reserved marinade every few minutes, until the ribs are caramelized and charred in spots and the internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium doneness.
9Remove the ribs from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes.
10Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Korean Style Beef Short Ribs

Q: What is Gochujang sauce?

Gochujang sauce is a Korean chili paste made from fermented soybeans, rice, and red peppers. It has a thick, sticky texture and a sweet, savory flavor that’s essential to this recipe.

Q: Can I use ground beef instead of short ribs?

While you can use ground beef in place of short ribs, the flavor and texture of the dish will be significantly different. Short ribs are perfect for slow-cooking because they’re rich in connective tissue that breaks down during cooking, making them tender and fall-apart.

Q: How long does it take to cook the short ribs?

The cooking time for the short ribs will depend on your stovetop’s heat level and your desired level of doneness. Typically, it takes around 20-25 minutes to cook the short ribs until they’re tender.

Q: Can I make this recipe in advance?

Yes! You can prepare the Gochujang sauce ahead of time and store it in an airtight container for up to one week. Simply reheat it before using in the recipe.

Q: What if I don’t have sesame seeds?

No problem! You can omit the sesame seeds if you don’t have them on hand or prefer not to use them. The dish will still be delicious without them.
