Instructions

Step 1: Trim excess fat from short ribs and cut into 1-inch pieces. Place in a large bowl with 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup mirin, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 medium peeled, finely grated Asian pear. Mix well to coat and marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Step 2: Preheat grill to medium (350°F). Thread ribs onto skewers, ensuring pieces aren't overcrowded. Grill for 8-10 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until caramelized and internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
Step 3: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute. Drizzle with reserved marinade for extra flavor.
