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!

Instructions

1. Add marinate ingredients to a bag, mix very well.
2. Add ribs.

4. On a hot grill (on high), cook ribs 4 minutes per side until browned.

These ribs are so good- you can eat them as little steaks with a knife and fork (or your hands- they are RIBS after all!!), cut up into tacos with fresh shredded cabbage or kimchi, or in a salad.
