I love ribs. My hubby loves ribs. Who doesn’t love ribs?? I just don’t love all the planning they take. Sure, we have a smoker we love to bust out, but spending hours to slow smoke meat isn’t something we can do often.  So when I heard about an awesome new cut- Flanken Ribs- that are sliced like a flank steak across the ribs to make a thin, quick cooking rib-steak, I was all in. I knew it was time to come up with a Korean Grilled Flanken Ribs recipe.

These are SO easy to make and so delicious, you might never look back at regular old ribs again!

Yield: 1 pound flanken ribs
