Kalbi BBQ Ribs Hawaiian Style

Ingredients

• 5 lbs thin cut tender short rib of beef, cross cut, about 1/2 inch thick (can substitute chuck steak)
• 2 cups soy sauce (I use 1/2 aloha brand and 1/2 yamasa brand.)
• 2 cups white sugar
• 4 garlic cloves (pressed or chopped fine)
• 1 inch ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• sliced green onion (optional)
• sesame seed, toasted until they pop and turn light brown (optional)
• 1 little red pepper paste (optional) or red chile (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   Place ribs in a glass dish or a Tupperware marinator.

2. 2

   Mix all ingredients except for the optional ones in a pan and warm until the sugar melts, then cool.

3. 3

   Pour marinade over ribs, add optional ingredients if you like, and place in the refrigerator 4 hours or overnight, mixing up occasionally to make sure all ribs are covered with sauce.

4. 4

   Grill or broil until sizzling, being careful not to burn because of the sugar.
