Ingredients

2 pounds beef flanken (Korean short ribs)
2/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons sesame oil
3 cloves garlic , minced
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes , optional but recommended

Instructions

Place the beef ribs in a large, sealable plastic bag.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, dark brown sugar, mirin, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red chili flakes. Pour the sauce into the bag with the beef ribs and slosh the beef well in the sauce until completely coated.
Remove any excess air from the bag and then marinate the beef in the fridge for at least 4 hours (ideally overnight.)
When ready to cook the ribs, preheat an indoor or outdoor grill to a medium-high heat and grease well with sesame oil (or your favorite high-smoke point cooking oil.)
Remove the ribs from the marinade and shake off any excess before placing the ribs on the hot grill.
Cook the ribs for 3-4 minutes per side or until they reach 160F internally.
Remove from the grill and garnish with the green onions and sesame seeds.
