Ingredients
- 1 kg Korean-style beef short ribs, cut across the bone (see Note)
- toasted white sesame seeds, chopped spring onion, perilla leaves, kimchi and gochujang, to serve
Marinade
- 1 nashi pear, grated
- 60 ml (¼ cup) soy sauce
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped, plus extra, to serve
- 1 onion, grated
- 3 cm-piece ginger, grated
- 60 ml (¼ cup) rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp dried chilli flakes
Instructions
To make marinade, combine all ingredients in a large non-reactive bowl. Add ribs and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Remove ribs from marinade, discarding excess marinade. Heat a barbecue or chargrill pan to high heat. Season ribs with salt and cook, turning halfway, for 4 minutes or until just cooked.
Scatter with sesame seeds and spring onions and serve with perilla leaves, kimchi and gochujang, to eat as wraps.
Note
• Instead of cutting along the bone, the ribs are cut across the bone, producing a thin strip of meat for quick cooking. This cut, known as flanken, is sold as ‘Korean-style short ribs’ at select Asian butchers.
