A bold and simple Korean BBQ short ribs recipe featuring a sticky, spicy-sweet gochujang glaze that’s perfect for grilling and impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds beef short ribs, flanken-cut across the bone
  • 3 tablespoons gochujang paste
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by whisking together gochujang paste, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, toasted sesame oil, and rice vinegar in a medium bowl (about 5 minutes).
  2. Place the short ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the ribs, coat well, seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 10-15 minutes) until hot with a good sizzle.
  4. Remove ribs from marinade, shaking off excess. Place ribs on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side initially, brushing with some reserved marinade glaze each time you flip.
  5. While ribs cook, warm the remaining marinade in a small saucepan over low heat for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly, stirring carefully to avoid burning. Use this as a glaze to brush ribs in layers during grilling.
  6. After the first two flips, continue grilling ribs for another 3-5 minutes, brushing glaze each time until ribs are caramelized, sticky, and cooked through but tender.
  7. Remove ribs from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Marinate ribs overnight for best flavor. Brush glaze multiple times during grilling to build sticky texture. Control heat to avoid burning glaze. Use tongs to keep ribs juicy. If flare-ups occur, move ribs to cooler part of grill. Can broil in oven if no grill is available.
