Instructions

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp gochujang, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated ginger, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until smooth.
Step 2: Place 2 lbs flanken-cut beef short ribs in a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring all pieces are coated. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Remove ribs from marinade, letting excess drip off.
Step 4: Grill the ribs for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked to desired doneness.
Step 5: Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with 3 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, and serve immediately with steamed rice or lettuce wraps.
