Beef Flanken Ribs & Grilled to Perfection!
Recipe Overview
Overview
Beef Flanken Ribs are a delightful dish that combines the rich flavors of marinated beef with the smoky goodness of the grill. The marinade, which includes soy sauce, ginger, and garlic, infuses the meat with a savory depth that is hard to resist. As the ribs grill, they develop a beautiful char that adds to their appeal.
The preparation is straightforward: simply marinate the ribs for at least an hour, or overnight for even better flavor. The grilling process is quick, as these thin cuts cook rapidly over hot coals. The key is to keep an eye on them, flipping occasionally to achieve that perfect char without overcooking.
Once grilled, letting the ribs rest is crucial. This step allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is tender and juicy. The addition of fresh green onions as a garnish not only adds a pop of color but also a fresh crunch that complements the rich flavors of the beef.
These ribs are perfect for a summer BBQ or a casual dinner with friends. Serve them alongside rice or grilled vegetables for a complete meal that is sure to impress. With their bold flavors and easy preparation, Beef Flanken Ribs are a must-try for any grilling enthusiast.
