Ingredients

  • 1 Prairie Street Korean / Miami Cut Short Ribs
  • 2 cups soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 onion
  • 1 bunch scallions
  • 1 prickly pear
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup ginger, grated
  • 1 carrot
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a blender, add soy sauce, onion, garlic, sugar, and ginger. Puree until smooth.
  2. Add 2 cups of water and pour over ribs. Marinate at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. Heat cast iron griddle on the grill over high direct heat. Place ribs on the griddle and cook 8 minutes or until internal temp reaches 90°F (32°C). Flip and cook another 8 minutes.
  4. Remove ribs, cut bones away from meat, and return bones to grill. Cook bones to medium well, 150°F (66°C).
  5. Grill scallions and scooped-out prickly pear centers directly.
  6. Peel cucumber and carrot into ribbons using a potato peeler. Combine with ½ cup chopped cilantro and a drizzle of sesame oil to make salad.
  7. Slice rib meat into ½-inch slices, leaving center rare to medium rare. Sear cut sides on grill for 1 minute per side.
  8. Plate bones topped with sliced meat. Add grilled scallions and prickly pear to salad. Drizzle sweet soy sauce over plate and serve.

Chef's Tips

  • Marinate overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Keep grill hot for proper searing.
  • Serve salad chilled for contrast to the hot ribs.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on grill or in a skillet to maintain sear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cook these on a regular grill without a cast iron griddle?

Yes, you can grill directly on the grates, but a cast iron griddle helps retain juices and create a more even sear.

Can I substitute the prickly pear?

Yes, try mango or pineapple for a similar sweet-acidic balance.

How long can I marinate the ribs?

Overnight is best, but even 30 minutes will infuse good flavor.
