Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp grated ginger, 2 chopped green onions, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until the sugar dissolves.
Step 2: Add 2 lbs flanken-cut beef short ribs to the marinade, turning to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Step 3: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove ribs from marinade, letting excess drip off.
Step 4: Grill the short ribs for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked to medium-rare or desired doneness.
Step 5: Transfer ribs to a serving platter, sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, and garnish with additional sliced green onions if desired.
