Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 2 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes. Whisk until sugar dissolves and marinade is fragrant.
Step 2: Add 2 lbs beef short ribs to the marinade, coating thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight to allow deep flavor absorption.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F). Remove ribs from marinade and let excess drip off.
Step 4: Grill short ribs for 3-4 minutes per side until caramelized edges form and internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium rare.
Step 5: Transfer ribs to a platter and sprinkle 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 1/2 cup sliced scallions over the top before serving.
