    This recipe serves 4 people giving each person about 2 short ribs. If you are cooking for a large crowd, you can easily double this recipe. Short ribs make amazing leftovers! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat on the stove in a covered skillet with a few tablespoons of water over medium heat until hot.

    Ingredients you need to make Grilled Flanken Cut Short Ribs:

    Flanken Cut Short Ribs - You'll need about two pounds of flanken cut short ribs. Depending on the thickness of the ribs, this should give you about 6-8.

    Soy Sauce - Low sodium is recommended in this recipe to prevent your ribs from becoming salty.

    Garlic - Fresh garlic cloves are best.

    Fresh Ginger - Fresh ginger is best in this recipe.

    Brown Sugar - Light or dark brown sugar both work great in this recipe.

    Rice Vinegar - If you don't have rice vinegar, you can also use white wine vinegar.

    Sesame Oil - Sesame oil adds a delicious flavor to the ribs.

    Sesame Seeds - An optional garnish for the ribs.

    Green Onions - Freshly chopped green onions make a delicious garnish.

    Tools to have on hand:

    • Mixing Bowls - To mix the marinade and a large mixing bowl to marinate the short ribs.
    • Whisk - For whisking the marinade together.
    • Measuring Spoons - To properly measure all of your ingredients.
    • Grill - To grill the short ribs.
    • Tongs - For turning the short ribs while grilling.

    How to grill the best Flanken Cut Short Ribs:

    Begin by whisking soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, garlic, ginger and sesame oil in a small bowl.

    Add short ribs to a large deep bowl or to a large storage bag. Pour marinade over short ribs and mix to fully coat the ribs. Place in the fridge to marinade for 2+ hours up to overnight.

    Remove ribs from the fridge 30 minutes prior to grilling.

    Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Place ribs on the grill and cook for about 4 minutes until browned, flip over and cook an additional 3 minutes.

    Serve with your favorite side dishes! Enjoy!

      Amazing! Life got in the way and these marinated for almost 2 days. My husband ate his share at work and texted: Man! You made a restaurant-quality marinade for those Korean BBQ ribs!!! It was delicious. I'm impressed. I gobbled 'em up!!! And included a chef's kiss Bitmoji. Maybe 2 days of marinade was the trick!
