Estimated times for this version of the recipe. Equipment, ingredient preparation and batch size can change the timing.

Includes the minimum 1-hour marinade. Overnight marinating adds time.

Ingredients

  • 3½ lb Beef short ribs, flanken-cut about ¼ inch thick
  • ⅓ cup Soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup Water
  • ¼ cup Honey
  • 1 tsp Black pepper, ground
  • 1 (about 2 cups) Asian pear, peeled and cored
  • 8 cloves Garlic
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 1 tsp Ginger, chopped
  • 2 tbsp Toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from the ribs and remove loose bone fragments.
  2. Blend the pear, garlic, onion and ginger into a smooth purée. Mix with soy sauce, water, honey, pepper and sesame oil.
  3. Coat the ribs with this marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
  4. Grill or pan-fry, turning to cook both sides. Thin ribs take roughly 5 minutes; continue until cooked through.
  5. Cut the cooked meat into bite-sized pieces. Serve with rice, lettuce or prepared ssamjang if desired.
