Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Rinse the flanken-cut beef short ribs under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated Asian pear, grated onion, and black pepper. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Place the ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring it's well coated. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
  5. Remove the ribs from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Place on the hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until a caramelized glaze forms.
  6. Transfer grilled ribs to a serving platter and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with steamed rice and side dishes like kimchi.
