Korean Barbecue Short Ribs Teriyaki
We are doing Korean-style barbecue beef short ribs, except that we're going to use a classic Japanese teriyaki marinade, which aside from being super easy, works incredibly well on this cut of beef. I served mine with rice and coleslaw, and topped the ribs with green onion and cilantro or cilantro flowers.
