Ingredients

  • 4 pounds beef short ribs
  • 1 large pear, peeled, seeded and quartered
  • 1 head garlic, peeled
  • 1 small onion, peeled and quartered
  • 1 thumb-size ginger, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Under cold running water, rinse short ribs and drain very well.
  • In a food processor, process pear, onions, garlic, and ginger until pureed (the texture of applesauce).
  • In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Stir until sugar and salt are dissolved. Add puree pear mixture, green onions and sesame seeds. Stir until well-combined.
  • Add beef short ribs, massaging meat. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Drain ribs from marinade and bring to room temperature.
  • Heat the grill to high. Arrange short ribs in a single layer on hot grill and grill for about 2 to 4 minutes on each side or until slightly charred and tender. Cut between bones, if desired.
