Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 1kg raw short ribs
  • Soy sauce, to taste
  • Cooking wine, a little
  • Crushed pear juice drink, a little
  • Minced garlic, generously
  • Honey, generously
  • Butter, generously
  • Parsley flakes, a little
  • Cooking oil, a little

Recipe 🍳

  1. Trim off the tough, thick fat from the surface of the raw short ribs and make diagonal cuts into the membrane for a tender texture.
  2. Cut the trimmed short ribs into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Place the cut meat in a bowl, add soy sauce, cooking wine, and crushed pear juice drink, mix well to coat, and marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  4. Lightly grease a preheated pan with cooking oil and grill the marinated short ribs until crispy, sealing in the juices. Simultaneously use a kitchen torch to impart a strong smoky flavor to the surface.
  5. To make the sauce, place minced garlic, honey, and butter in a heatproof bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and poke small holes with a fork.
  6. Microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds, in 30-second intervals to prevent splattering, to create a garlic honey butter sauce with a subtle garlic aroma.
  7. Arrange the crispy grilled short ribs on a serving plate, sprinkle with parsley flakes, and serve with the warm, melted sweet and savory honey butter sauce.
  1. Trim and cut the short ribs, then marinate in soy sauce, cooking wine, and pear juice for 30 minutes.
  2. Grill the meat in a pan until crispy, using a torch for a smoky flavor.
  3. Make the sauce by microwaving garlic, honey, and butter for a total of 1 minute and 30 seconds, then serve with the meat.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Using a kitchen torch to directly flame the meat while grilling is essential, not just for aroma, but to create a crispy coating on the surface, which completely transforms the overall juiciness and flavor.
  • When microwaving the honey butter sauce, avoid heating it for too long at once, as the garlic and butter can splatter. Always heat in 30-second intervals, checking each time for a clean result.
