LA Galbi (Korean BBQ Short Ribs)

Instructions

1. Rinse ribs to remove bone dust. Drain well. Lightly pound with a meat tenderizer or stretch with your hands to tenderize.
2. Blend pear (or apple) with onion, garlic, and ginger as finely as possible. Combine with all remaining marinade ingredients in a large bowl or container.
3. Add meat and coat each rib. Marinate 6–8 hours, flipping halfway through (overnight for best results).
4. Grill: Preheat to medium-high. Grill 2–3 minutes per side, turning once.
5. Broil: Set oven to broil. Place ribs on broiler pan on top rack (~6 inches below broiler). Cook 5–6 minutes, flip, cook 3–4 more minutes. Watch closely.
6. Pan-fry: Preheat large non-stick pan. Reduce to medium. Cook in a single layer 4–5 minutes per side, adding strained marinade when pan dries. Cook until browned and sauce is gone.
