Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp sesame oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated ginger, and 1 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2: Add 2 lbs flanken-cut beef short ribs to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor.
Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and brush grates with 1 tbsp vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Remove beef from marinade, letting excess drip off, and grill ribs for 3-4 minutes per side until charred and cooked to medium rare or desired doneness.
Step 5: While ribs cook, mix 4 thinly sliced green onions, 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes in a small bowl to make the dipping sauce.
Step 6: Serve grilled short ribs hot with scallion-sesame sauce on the side for dipping.
