### **How to Make Spicy Korean BBQ Short Ribs**

#### **Step 1: Prepare the Ribs**
1. Pat the short ribs dry with paper towels.
2. Rub them with sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside while you prepare the glaze.

#### **Step 2: Make the Gochujang Glaze**
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
2. Taste and adjust the sweetness or heat according to your preference.

#### **Step 3: Marinate the Ribs**
1. Place the short ribs in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the gochujang glaze over the ribs, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
2. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.

#### **Step 4: Cook the Ribs**
1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. Remove the ribs from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and place them on the hot grill.
3. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with the reserved glaze, until caramelized and slightly charred.

#### **Step 5: Serve**
1. Transfer the ribs to a serving platter.
2. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice, kimchi, or your favorite Korean side dishes.

### **Tips for Perfect Short Ribs**

1. **Choose the Right Cut:** Flanken-style ribs are ideal for this recipe as they cook quickly and absorb the marinade well.
2. **Don’t Skip the Marinade:** Letting the ribs marinate enhances their tenderness and infuses them with flavor.
3. **Control the Heat:** Adjust the amount of gochujang to suit your spice tolerance. Adding more honey can help balance the heat.
4. **Cook Quickly:** Avoid overcooking the ribs to keep them juicy and tender.
