There’s a reason why Korean barbecue has become so popular in the United States and around the world. Marinated with soy sauce, fresh lime juice, ginger, and garlic these grilled Korean short ribs have a hint of smoke and deep umami flavors. In traditional Korean BBQ, this style of ribs would be called Galbi, which is also the Korean word for ribs.

Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef short ribs cut flanken style
Marinade
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tsp fresh ginger minced or grated
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 3 to 4 green onions chopped
- Pinch of pepper
Instructions
Prepare Marinade
- Start by mincing the ginger and garlic and dicing the green onions.
- In a small pan, toast the sesame seeds for a couple of minutes over medium heat. Make sure to keep everything moving while the seeds are toasting, so they toast evenly and don’t burn. The seeds are done when they’ve browned a little and have a nice toasted smell to them.
- In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, sesame seeds, and green onions, along with a pinch of black pepper.
- If you have the time, let the marinade sit for 15 minutes or so to let the flavors come together, before using it. Marinate the ribs for at least an hour before cooking.
Grilling Short Ribs
- Over a medium-hot grill, gas or charcoal, set the ribs directly over the fire. Grill the ribs for 5 to 8 minutes a side, flipping as needed to keep them from flaming up.
- The ribs should be cooked until they’ve reached a medium level of doneness.
- Take the ribs off the grill and slice them along the inside of the bone. Serve the short ribs with a little diced green onion on top.
