Categories: Asian

Ingredients

  • 1 large Asian pear or 2 firm ripe pears, peeled and grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, grated
  • 3 tbsp. tamari
  • 2 tbsp. toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp. packed brown sugar
  • 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 6 bone-in flanken-cut beef short ribs, trimmed
  • 12 small lettuce leaves
  • 12 perilla leaves
  • 3 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1/4 cup Ssamjang (see recipe)
  • Kimchi for garnish

Directions

  1. To marinate ribs: Combine pear, garlic, tamari, oil, sugar, ginger and pepper in a medium bowl, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add ribs and massage the marinade into them. Cover and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, for at least 2 hours or up to 1 day.

  2. To grill ribs: Preheat grill to high.

  3. Lightly oil the grill rack. Shake any excess marinade off the ribs. Grill, without crowding, 30-45 seconds per side for rare. Let rest on a clean cutting board for 5 minutes, then cut each in half.

  4. To serve: Assemble 12 lettuce wraps with 1 perilla leaf, 1/4 cup rice, one piece of meat and 1 tsp Ssamjan each. Garnish with kimchi.
