A bold and balanced spicy Korean BBQ short ribs recipe paired with a sticky, nutty sesame glaze that delivers tender, juicy ribs with a sweet and spicy flavor perfect for easy weeknight dinners or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef flanken-style short ribs, cut across the bone
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Optional: thinly sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, gochujang, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper until smooth and well combined (3-5 minutes).
  2. Place the short ribs into a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring each piece is coated thoroughly. Seal and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, ideally overnight.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C) or preheat oven broiler with rack about 6 inches from heat source.
  4. Remove ribs from marinade, letting excess drip off. Place ribs on grill or broiler pan. Cook about 3-4 minutes per side, turning once, until ribs are charred and cooked through but still juicy (total ~8 minutes).
  5. While ribs cook, whisk together honey, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds in a small bowl to make the sesame glaze.
  6. In the last minute of cooking, brush glaze generously on both sides of ribs. Let caramelize slightly, then remove from heat.
  7. Arrange ribs on a serving platter, sprinkle with extra sesame seeds and sliced green onions if using. Serve immediately with steamed rice or preferred sides.

Notes

Marinate ribs at least 3 hours or overnight for best flavor. Pat ribs dry before grilling to avoid flare-ups. Use two-zone grilling if possible for searing and gentle cooking. Brush glaze at the end to prevent burning. Rest ribs 5 minutes before serving. For oven baking, cook at 375°F for 40 minutes, turning halfway and glazing near the end.
