What Makes This Recipe So Good
This dish combines tender, flavorful beef ribs with a sweet and savory marinade that melts in your mouth. The balance of soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil creates a rich taste that’s both comforting and exciting. It’s perfect for sharing with family or friends at any gathering.
Directions
Soak the ribs in a big bowl of water for about an hour. Once they’ve soaked, drain them and put them back in the bowl. Next, toss the Asian pear, onion, kiwi, and garlic into a food processor and blend until smooth. Pour that puree into a bowl, then mix in the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, and a bit of black pepper. Pour this marinade over the ribs, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and pop it in the fridge. Let it marinate for at least 8 hours, or even overnight, turning the ribs once halfway through to make sure they soak up all the flavor. When you’re ready to cook, strain out the marinade and discard it. Heat your grill to medium and give the grates a light oiling to keep things from sticking. Grill the ribs for about 8 minutes on each side, until they’re nicely crispy on the outside and cooked through.
