Ingredients
1 (12 oz.) Asian pear, peeled, cored, and roughly chopped
1/4 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 tbsp. toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp. gochujang or sriracha
5 cloves garlic
1 (1") chunk ginger, peeled
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless short ribs (2 lb. total)
Preparation
Step 1Combine the pear, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, gochujang, garlic, ginger, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. If the marinade is too thick to blend, add up to ¼ cup of water.Step 2Pour the marinade into a large bowl or baking dish and add the short ribs. Toss to coat the short ribs in the marinade, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.Step 3Preheat the grill to medium high for 5 minutes and clean and oil the grill. Grill the short ribs, turning every 5 minute or so, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 135° for rare or 140° for medium rare, 15 to 20 minutes.Step 4Cover with aluminum foil and rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice the meat, on the diagonal, against the grain. Serve immediately.
Are short ribs good for grilling? Short ribs are great for grilling, but you’re going to want to use boneless short ribs here, not the bone-in kind classic in braised preparations. If you can only find bone-in short ribs, ask your butcher to cut away the bones or do it yourself with a sharp knife. (But don’t throw them away! Save them to make homemade broth.) How long should I grill short ribs? After marinating the short ribs for at least 4 hours, you’ll grill them for just 15 to 20 minutes. It’s the ideal length of time to get a pot of rice going, or simply kick your legs up and enjoy a beer. Can you cook short ribs like steak? Yes, you can cook boneless short ribs on the grill similarly to how you’d cook a steak. We like them marinated for extra flavor, but seasoned short rib meat can be cooked on the grill. Start checking them for doneness around 8 minutes. Made this? Let us know how it went in the comments below.
