For a richer flavor, use dark soy sauce instead of light soy sauce. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level. Serve with steamed rice and your favorite Asian-inspired side dishes.
Unleash a symphony of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors with these mouthwatering Grilled Flanken Short Ribs. A tantalizing marinade transforms simple ribs into an unforgettable culinary experience.
Thoroughly massage the sugar and steak seasoning into both sides of the flanken short ribs. Ensure an even coating for optimal flavor infusion. (5 minutes)
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, white vinegar, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, sesame oil, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes until well combined. This creates the vibrant marinade. (5 minutes)
Place the short ribs into a large, resealable plastic bag. Pour the prepared marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Seal the bag, removing any excess air. Marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor. (1-4 hours)
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-450°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)
Remove the short ribs from the marinade, discarding the used marinade. Place the ribs directly onto the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 3 minutes per side, or until the ribs are well-browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 190-205°F for optimal tenderness. (6 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use dark soy sauce instead of light soy sauce. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level. Serve with steamed rice and your favorite Asian-inspired side dishes.
