Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1/3 cup soy sauce, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 2: Add 2 pounds of beef short ribs (flanken cut, about 1/2 inch thick) to the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 3: To prepare the sesame scallion sauce, mix 4 chopped green onions, 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 4: Preheat the grill to high heat (450°F). Remove ribs from marinade and grill 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 and spoon the sesame scallion sauce over the top before serving.
