Instructions
1
Begin by grinding the toasted sesame seeds in a coffee grinder until they reach a fine powder. Transfer the ground sesame seeds to a medium mixing bowl.
2
Add the pressed garlic, soy sauce, sherry wine, honey, sesame oil, water, finely grated ginger, chopped scallions, and red chili flakes to the bowl. Whisk together until fully combined to create a fragrant marinade.
3
Place the beef short ribs in a large baking dish and pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring that they are well coated. Cover the dish and let the ribs marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours; for best results, marinate overnight.
4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the ribs from the marinade and place them on the grill. Grill the ribs for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they develop a golden-brown, crispy exterior.
5
After the initial grilling, reduce the heat to medium-low, close the grill lid, and continue to grill for an additional 15 minutes, or until the ribs are tender and fully cooked.
6
Once done, transfer the ribs to a serving platter. Before serving, sprinkle with extra toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onion tips for a fresh finish. Enjoy your Korean BBQ Glazed Short Ribs with a side of steamed rice for a complete meal.
