Ingredients

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1/3 cup mirin

1 tablespoon chili oil

1 tablespoon dark sesame oil

1 tablespoon fish sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced

One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced

1 1/2 pounds Korean-style short ribs (thinly sliced beef chuck, flanken-cut; 1/2 inch thick)

2 green onions, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Directions

Special equipment:
a grill
  1. Whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, chili oil, sesame oil, fish sauce, garlic, ginger and 1/4 cup water. Place the short ribs in a shallow dish or large resealable plastic bag. Add the marinade and turn to coat. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  2. Remove the ribs from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature. Drain and discard the marinade.
  3. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium-high heat (400 degrees F).
  4. Grill the ribs, covered with the grill lid, until browned and to desired doneness, 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove the ribs from the grill to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
