These Sesame Beef Ribs are a show-stopping main course that balances deep savory notes with the rich aroma of toasted sesame. The marinade, featuring soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and a touch of sugar, penetrates the meat to create an incredibly tender result. Scoring the ribs ensures the flavor reaches the core, while the final grilling step adds a delicious char.

Ingredients
  • 4 lbs beef short ribs, trimmed
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup dark sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp dry mustard powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
Directions
  1. 1
    In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, sesame seeds, sugar, dry mustard, pepper, minced garlic, and chopped green onions to create the marinade.
  2. 2
    Using a sharp knife, score the beef ribs on both sides almost to the bone in a cross-hatch pattern about 1/2 inch apart.
  3. 3
    Place the scored ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated.
  4. 4
    Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, turning the ribs several times to ensure even marination.
  5. 5
    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat for direct grilling. Clean the grates thoroughly.
  6. 6
    Remove the ribs from the marinade at least 30 minutes before cooking to bring them closer to room temperature. Reserve the marinade in a small saucepan.
  7. 7
    Bring the reserved marinade to a boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes to kill any bacteria, then set aside for basting.
  8. 8
    Place the ribs on the hot grill. Close the lid and cook for approximately 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
  9. 9
    Baste the ribs frequently with the boiled marinade during the last few minutes of cooking to build a glaze.
  10. 10
    Remove ribs from the grill when the exterior is crispy and charred, and the meat is tender. Serve immediately.

Note

Safety: Always boil unused marinade that has touched raw meat before using it as a sauce to ensure food safety.

Storage: Leftover cooked ribs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or on the grill.

Tip: For extra richness, you can add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the marinade instead of white sugar for a deeper caramelization.

Substitution: If beef short ribs are unavailable, pork spare ribs can be used, though the cooking time may need to be adjusted slightly.
