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
- In a blender, add soy sauce, onion, garlic, sugar, and ginger. Puree until smooth.
- Add 2 cups of water and pour over ribs. Marinate at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
- 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.
- Remove ribs, cut bones away from meat, and return bones to grill. Cook bones to medium well, 150°F (66°C).
- Grill scallions and scooped-out prickly pear centers directly.
- 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.
- Slice rib meat into ½-inch slices, leaving center rare to medium rare. Sear cut sides on grill for 1 minute per side.
- 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.
