• 4 pounds beef short ribs -- 2 1/2" long
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
• 1 teaspoon Tabasco
• 1 garlic clove, either minced or squeezed through a garlic press

Method

Working both lengthwise and crosswise, score meaty side of ribs, opposite bone, 1/2 inch apart, 1/2 inch deep.

Combine soy sauce, water, sugar, sesame seed, Tabasco and minced garlic .  Stir madly to dissolve sugar.  A whisk is the best for this. 

Pour sauce over ribs in a large bowl, turning to coat ribs.  Then pour both sauce and ribs into a large plastic bag.  Pressing all around, squeeze air out of bag.  Close at top trying to keep as air-free as possible. 

Marinate 2 hours in refrigerator, turning bag over from time to time to continue distributing the marinade. 

Remove ribs from marinade and place on broiler pan.  Broil 2" from heat for 15 minutes, or until ribs are brown and crispy on all sides.

Serves: 4
