Ingredients

  • Marinade:
  • 3/4 cup cola-flavored carbonated beverage (such as Coca-Cola®)
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds short ribs

Instructions

  1. Combine cola beverage, white sugar, soy sauce, water, green onions, sesame oil, garlic, sesame seeds, and black pepper in a bowl until marinade is well-mixed.
  2. Place short ribs in a resealable plastic bag and pour in marinade. Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove short ribs from marinade, discarding marinade.
  4. Cook short ribs until browned and cooked to desired doneness, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
