Korean Beef Ribs

Prep Time : 20 Minutes + 4-6 hours Marinating.
Cooking Time : 15 Minutes
Serves 6

2 kg ( 4.40 lbs) short ribs or pork ribs
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 water
1 onion, grated
3 cloves of garlic, crushed

Place the ribs in a pan and cover with water, bring to boil, cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain well.
this runs off some fat.Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and add the ribs, mix well, cover and marinate refrigerated for 4-6 hours or over night. Turn the ribs occasionally while marinating, so the flavours are evenly distributed.Cook the ribs over a hot oiled grill, allowing each side to brown and become crisp. Serve warm.

Most supermarkets have oriental sesame oil (Which is made from dark roasted sesame seeds) on their Asian shelves. Or look for it at your local Asian food outlet. Light sesame oil from the health food store will not do.
