"Korean short ribs are my all time favorite Asian dish. This recipe originally came from chow.com, but I've tweaked it a bit. Posted for Zaar World Tour. (Time doesn't include marinating time and assumes butcher has butterflied the ribs for you.)"

ingredients

907.18 g beef short ribs, cross cut and butterflied
0.25 ml kosher salt
118.29 ml low sodium soy sauce
1 small onion
113.39 g pear baby food
6 garlic cloves
1 inch fresh ginger
44.37 ml honey
4 green onions
9.85 ml sesame seed oil
14.79 ml rice wine
2.46 ml fresh ground black pepper
water, as needed

directions

MARINADE.
Chop onion, pear or apple, and ginger into small pieces and place in blender with garlic and just enough water to blend into a smooth pourable paste. Pour into medium mixing bowl.
Slice green onion and add to bowl.
Add all other ingredients. Mix well and let stand for at least fifteen minutes.
If too thick, add equal parts soy sauce and water until reach desired consistency.
PREPARE MEAT.
Very lightly salt meat on both sides and let sit 10 minutes.
Place meat into a bowl, pour in enough marinade to just cover the meat and mix well. Refrigerate for 6 to 24 hours.
GRILL MEAT.
Remove meat from refrigerator and let set at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Heat grill to high heat.
Cook until browned then turn and cook until browned on the other side, about 2 minutes per side.
NOTE:.
If you can't get the butcher to butterfly the ribs, you can do it yourself. Separate the ribs, then slice into the meaty side at the center of the rib section, stopping just before cutting through the membrane. Turn your knife 90º (flat to the bone) right and carefully slice the meat at roughly 1/8 inch thickness outward until just short of slicing through, roll the loosened flap of meat away from the knife, and continue slicing until again just short of slicing through. Repeat until you reach the “end” of the meat. Do the same for the left side and repeat this with each rib section.

This is a terrific recipe. I did make a few changes as I didn't intend to barbeque. A Korean friend had told me to boil the meat first, which i did ... about 7 minutes, to get out all the fat and blood from the meat. Then I marinated the meat for 24 hours, using the recipe as provided. I substituted a small chopped apple for the pear as that was available. Then, I put the meat in a large heavy pot (non stick) added 3/4 cup of water and let the meat simmer for nearly two hours until almost all of the liquid was gone. Yum, Yum, Yum. Everyone loved it. Did I say yum?

Made & reviewed for ZWT 4 ~ Kumquat's Kookin Kaboodles! Wow, these are DELICIOUS! We all really loved these ribs & they are quite simple to make despite the number of ingredients. Speaking of ingredients, the pear baby food made me smile...I just used poached pureed pear as I never bought baby food (even for my own babies lol). I will definitely be making these again. YUM
