Ingredients

  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Mirin
  • 1/4 cup sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 pounds beef short ribs

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, Mirin, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Place the beef short ribs in a large resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the marinaded ribs from the bag and shake off any excess marinade.
  4. Grill the ribs for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach the desired level of doneness. Baste the ribs with the remaining marinade during grilling for added flavor.
  5. Once cooked, remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve hot and enjoy!
