Grilled Flanken Cut Beef Ribs Recipe

Flanken cut beef ribs are a wonderful BBQ appetizer to make – they’re fun to eat and are quick and easy to cook.

Take Flanken Cut Beef Ribs Out of the Package and Put Into Ziplock Bag(s) to Marinate

Make Marinade for Flanken Cut Ribs

This is for roughly 3 lbs of flanken cut beef ribs:

• 1/2 Cup Soy Sauce
• 1/4 Cup 7-up/Sprite or Water
• 1/4 Cup Mirin
• 1 tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
• 2 Tbsp Dark Brown Sugar
• The whites from 2 green onions sliced
• 2 tbsp Gochujang
• 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
• 1/2 tbsp granulated garlic
• 1 tsp ground ginger

Combine well and then add to the ziplock bag with the ribs.

Marinate for at least 2-6 hours, ideally overnight.

The Next Day, Get Your Grill to 400F+

We’re NOT concerned with internal temperature here – we just want to develop some char on the outside of the ribs.

I prefer to flip often as the marinade has dark brown sugar and there’s sugar in the sprite – meaning if you sear for too long in one spot, it’ll burn.

Sear on one side for 30 seconds, flip, then 30 seconds on the other side.

Repeat this until you’re happy with the exterior of the meat – this will roughly be 2 minutes per side.

Take Off to Rest Until They’re Safe to Eat

Rest for 3-5 minutes or until the bones are warm to the touch.

Then enjoy!

These make for a wonderful finger food – they’re tender, the marinade compliments the fatty meat, and they’re fun to eat.
