Ingredients

Marinade
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp rice wine or mirin
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 Asian pear or apple, grated (natural tenderizer)
1/2 tsp black pepper
Ribs
2 lbs flanken-cut beef short ribs (cut across the bone, 1/4-inch thick)
Serving
Sesame seeds
Sliced green onions
Steamed rice
Kimchi
Lettuce wraps

Equipment

  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

  1. 1

    Mix all marinade ingredients. Coat short ribs thoroughly. Marinate 4 hours minimum (overnight is best).

  2. 2

    Remove ribs from marinade, shaking off excess.

  3. 3

    Air fry at 400°F for 14-18 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes, until caramelized and slightly charred.

  4. 4

    Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

  5. 5

    Serve with steamed rice, kimchi, and lettuce wraps.

💡

Tip: Flanken-cut ribs are sliced ACROSS the bone — ask your butcher or find them at Korean markets. The grated Asian pear is a traditional tenderizer; apple works as a substitute. The sugars in the marinade caramelize beautifully at high heat.
