Steps:

• Preparation: Sprinkle brown sugar over beef and mix well to evenly coat. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while preparing marinade. In a bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. Transfer beef into a large sealable freezer bag (you may need 2). Add marinade, press out excess air from bags, and seal. Turn bag over several times to ensure beef is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
• Heat gas or charcoal grill to medium-hot. Drain excess marinade off beef. Grill short ribs, turning once, to desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, if desired. Serve whole pieces as a main course or cut into smaller pieces, using kitchen shears, for a starter or party nibble.

LOW-SODIUM KALBI

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except ribs in a 1 gallon ziplock bag. Add ribs and seal bag, squeezing out excess air.
• Work sauce into ribs by kneading bag (be careful not to poke a hole in it).
• Marinade several hours (no more than 4 if using very thin meat, such as for sukiyaki), or freeze.
• To cook: If frozen, thaw first by placing in refrigerator the day before.
• Drain meat, reserving marinade.
• Grill over medium-hot coals until done to taste (time will vary depending on meat used).
• Meanwhile, place reserved marinade in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
• I like to serve this sliced, over rice topped with shredded cabbage (I use undressed coleslaw salad mix), with the sauce drizzled on top. Kimchi makes a good side dish, too.
