Description

Chef John uses an easy Japanese teriyaki marinade in his take on these savory Korean barbecue short ribs.

Ingredients

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup sake
1/3 cup mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons finely grated ginger
2 tablespoons finely minced green onions
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 pounds beef short ribs, cut flanken-style

Directions

1 Combine soy sauce, sake, mirin, brown sugar, ginger, green onions, and turmeric in a large mixing bowl and whisk until combined. Add the short ribs and toss until thoroughly and evenly coated.
2 Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 12 hours, tossing occasionally.
3 Preheat a charcoal grill for high heat.
4 Remove meat from the refrigerator. Grill over very hot charcoal until slightly caramelized and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Any excess marinade can be used to baste the meat while it's grilling. Flip meat after basting to allow to caramelize, about 1 minute more per side.
5 Serve immediately, spooning or brushing on any accumulated juices from the plate.
