Ingredients

  • 2 to 2 1/2 lb. beef short ribs
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 green pepper
  • 5 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp. sugar
  • 5 Tbsp. chopped green onion
  • 2 tsp. crushed garlic
  • 2 Tbsp. crushed sesame seed
  • 2 Tbsp. sesame oil
  • 2 Tbsp. cooking sherry
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper

Instructions

  1. Choose beef ribs with little gristle or fat and cut into 3 to 4-inch lengths.
  2. Score each piece of meat deeply with a sharp knife several times to make cooked meat easier to remove from the bone.
  3. Combine all other ingredients, except onion and bell pepper, and pour the mixture over the meat pieces.
  4. Rub the mixture into the meat with your hands so that the beef ribs are well coated with the seasonings.

Tips & Substitutions

For best results, marinate the beef ribs for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the flavors to penetrate. If you don't have sesame oil, you can substitute with olive oil, though the flavor will differ slightly. Scoring the meat not only helps with flavor absorption but also ensures even cooking. Consider pairing with a side of rice to soak up the delicious juices.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the broiled beef ribs with a side of steamed rice and pickled vegetables for a complete meal. Thinly sliced onion and green pepper can be grilled alongside the ribs for added flavor. For an authentic touch, consider serving with Korean-style dipping sauces. This dish pairs beautifully with Beef In Burgundy Sauce for a hearty feast.

Storage & Reheating

Leftover broiled beef ribs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the ribs in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in a skillet over medium heat, adding a bit of water to prevent drying out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?

While beef short ribs are ideal for their rich flavor and tenderness, you can use other cuts like flank steak or chuck roast. Just remember that cooking times may vary, so adjust accordingly to ensure the meat is tender and flavorful.

What type of soy sauce should I use?

For this recipe, it's best to use a good quality, low-sodium soy sauce to control the saltiness. If you prefer a deeper flavor, you can opt for dark soy sauce, but reduce the amount slightly to maintain balance in the marinade.

How spicy can I make this recipe?

If you enjoy a bit of heat, consider adding some gochujang (Korean chili paste) or red pepper flakes to the marinade. Start with a small amount and adjust to your taste, as you can always add more, but it's tricky to reduce spiciness once added.
