Grilled short rib with spicy rice cakes and vegetables
Let's get grilling
For the marinade
1
Blend Asian pear, garlic, ginger, onion until creamy texture. Add the rest of ingredients and mix until sugar is dissolved.
2
Rinse the short ribs in cold water to remove any remaining bone fragments. Drain the water and let it dry. Add the ribs to the marinade and mix it by hand. Keep it in the refrigerator overnight or longer.
3
Heat charcoal grill to medium hot. Drain excess marinade off beef, grill short ribs, turning once to desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes per side. Serve whole pieces or cut into smaller pieces and drizzle sesame oil to finish.

2
In a separate bowl, sprinkle rice cake with oil to coat lightly. Grill the rice cake until tender and lightly charred each side. Transfer rice cake back into the bowl and toss with Gochujang sauce until desired taste.
3
In a large platter, arrange the grilled vegetables around and add sauced grilled rice cake in the center. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds.
