Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds Korean style beef short ribs
  • 4 green onions chopped
  • 3/4 C Soy Sauce
  • 3/4 C Dark Brown Sugar
  • 3 tbsp White Vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ginger paste optional
  • 3/4 C Pepsi or 7-up or water

Instructions
 

  • Set ribs aside on a plate for 10 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk together all the remaining ingredients. Transfer beef into a large sealable freezer bag (you may need 2). Add marinade, press out excess air from bags, and seal. Turn bag over several times to ensure beef is evenly coated. You can also place the ribs in a large container with a lid.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours but preferable overnight.
  • Heat gas or charcoal grill to medium-hot. Drain excess marinade off beef. Grill short ribs, turning once, to desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, if desired. Serve whole pieces as a main course or cut into smaller pieces, for an appetizer.
