Korean BBQ Beef Short Ribs
Ingredients:
· 2 pounds Korean-style beef short ribs (available at Zion Market)
· 4 tablespoons soy sauce
· 4 teaspoons sesame oil
· 2 tablespoons sake or mirin (sweet rice wine)
· 4 tablespoons brown sugar
· 1 fresh kiwi
· 8 cloves of garlic
· 1 tablespoon roasted white sesame seeds
· 1 tablespoon roasted black sesame seeds
· Shredded or sliced green onions, to taste
· Asian hot chili sauce (Sriracha) or red chili pepper flakes, to taste (optional)
· Black pepper, to taste
Directions:
· Blend kiwi and garlic in food processor.
· In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, sake, brown sugar, kiwi and garlic. Then add the sesame seeds, shredded green onion, red chili sauce (optional) and black pepper (for best flavor, use a mortar and pestle to crush half of the black and white sesame seeds).
· Add beef to mixture and allow to marinate for 12 hours or overnight. Cook on outdoor grill or indoor skillet until done (browned on both sides).
