Spicy Korean BBQ Short Ribs with Gochujang Glaze: Bold & Flavorful

Ingredients:

2 lbs beef short ribs (flanken-style preferred)

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)

2 tbsp honey

1 tbsp sesame oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp grated ginger

2 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tsp chili flakes (optional)

2 green onions, sliced for garnish

Sesame seeds for garnish

Let’s Make It Happen:

Marinate the Ribs:

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and chili flakes. Pour over the short ribs, ensuring they’re fully coated. Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.

Preheat the Grill:

Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Grill the Ribs:

Remove the ribs from the marinade and grill for 4-5 minutes per side, basting occasionally with leftover marinade, until slightly charred and cooked through.

Prepare the Glaze:

In a small saucepan, simmer any remaining marinade for 2-3 minutes to thicken. Brush it generously over the grilled ribs before serving.

Garnish & Serve:

Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot with steamed rice and kimchi on the side.

Tips for Extra Magic:

Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a tangy balance.

Pair with grilled vegetables or pickled radishes for a complete meal.

Swap gochujang with a milder chili paste if you prefer less heat.

Enjoy:
