Ingredients

For the Korean Short Ribs:

¾ cup soy sauce
¾ cup water
3 tablespoons white vinegar
¼ cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 tablespoons sesame oil
¼ cup minced garlic
½ large onion, finely chopped
3 pounds Korean-style short ribs

For the Grilled Broccoli:

2 lbs broccoli, cut into florets
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon honey
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
Pepper, to taste
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Lemon wedge for serving

Instructions

1. Marinate the Korean Short Ribs:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, white vinegar, dark brown sugar, white sugar, black pepper, sesame oil, minced garlic, and chopped onion. Mix well to combine.
Add the Korean-style short ribs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.

2. Prepare the Arteflame Grill:

Preheat your Arteflame Grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the cooktop is clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

3. Grill the Korean Short Ribs:

Remove the short ribs from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the ribs on the hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are caramelized and have a nice char. The Arteflame's even heat distribution ensures the ribs cook perfectly, with a smoky, rich flavor.

4. Prepare the Grilled Broccoli:

In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with EVOO, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, honey, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until evenly coated.
Place the broccoli on the outer edge of the grill, away from the direct heat. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the broccoli is tender and slightly charred.
Remove the broccoli from the grill and sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese. Serve with a lemon wedge for an added burst of freshness.

5. Serve:

Arrange the grilled Korean BBQ short ribs on a platter and serve with the grilled broccoli. Garnish with additional sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or fresh cilantro if desired.

Alternatives and Variations:

1. Spicy Korean BBQ Ribs

Add gochujang (Korean chili paste) to the marinade for an extra kick of heat.

2. Sweet & Tangy Ribs

Incorporate pineapple juice into the marinade for a sweet and tangy twist.

3. Ginger-Soy Ribs

Add grated ginger to the marinade for a fresh, zesty flavor.

4. BBQ Glazed Ribs

Brush the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce during the last minute of grilling for a sticky, glazed finish.

5. Herb-Infused Broccoli

Add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the broccoli marinade for an aromatic twist.

Best Pairings:

Side Dish: Serve with steamed jasmine rice, kimchi, or a fresh cucumber salad to complement the rich flavors of the Korean BBQ ribs.
Drink: Pair with a cold beer, soju, or a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc.
Dessert: Finish with a light dessert like mochi ice cream, fresh fruit, or a green tea panna cotta.

Enjoy the perfect Korean BBQ short ribs grilled on your Arteflame Grill, offering a delicious blend of smoky, sweet, and savory flavors that are sure to impress.
