Ingredients

Measured from the catalog payload.

  • 3 lbs beef short rib sliced
  • 3/4 cups light soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons garlic minced
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

7 cooking steps

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, white sugar, rice wine, sesame oil, and chili powder until the sugars are completely dissolved.
  2. Place the sliced beef short ribs in a large resealable plastic bag.
  3. Pour the marinade over the beef, seal the bag, and massage gently to coat evenly. Remove as much air as possible from the bag before sealing completely.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight (8-12 hours), to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  5. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the short ribs for 4 to 8 minutes per side, depending on heat intensity, basting occasionally with the remaining marinade until nicely charred and cooked to desired doneness.
  6. Transfer to a serving platter and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve hot with steamed rice and Korean side dishes (banchan). Share and enjoy!
