Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade; whisk until sugar dissolves.
Step 2: Place 2 pounds flanken-cut beef short ribs in a large zip-top bag and pour the marinade over the ribs, massaging to coat evenly; refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor.
Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove ribs from marinade and grill for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked to medium doneness.
Step 4: Meanwhile, prepare the sesame scallion sauce by mixing 4 thinly sliced green onions, 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar in a small bowl; stir well.
Step 5: Serve the grilled short ribs hot, topped with the sesame scallion sauce to add a fresh, nutty contrast.
