Ingredients

0.75 cup soy sauce
0.75 cup brown sugar
0.75 cup water
2 green onions, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon Asian (toasted) sesame oil
2 pounds Korean-style short ribs (beef chuck flanken, cut 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick across bones)

Instructions

Gather all necessary ingredients for the Kalbi recipe.
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, water, chopped green onions, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Place the short ribs in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour in the prepared marinade, remove any excess air, and seal tightly. Allow the ribs to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours for optimal flavor.
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. Remove the marinated ribs from the bag, shaking off any excess marinade (discard the used marinade). Grill the ribs on the preheated grill for approximately 5 to 7 minutes per side, until the meat is cooked through but still slightly pink near the bone.
