Marinade the ribs for at least 12 hours in the fridge. As you can see, plenty of fat on this cut of beef. Makes it a great cut to soak up the marinade and not dry out on the grill over high heat.

How do you grill short ribs?

The first step when grilling this flanken cut beef short ribs recipe is bringing the grill up to 500 degrees. The grill should be smoking and super hot when you throw the ribs on. The ribs should be directly over the heat. That’s why I prefer a propane grill instead of charcoal or wood. The gas grill gives an even sear with less chance of burnt meat. The beef needs only a few minutes to cook and get a nice sear. It’s important to stay close to the grill. Sear marks are good but you don’t want to burn up your ribs which is easy to do with the skinny cut if your not paying attention.

The flanken cut of short ribs is usually about a 1/4 of an inch so it only takes a few minutes to grill them up. I try to grill them for three minutes and then flip the ribs. Then repeat for another 3 minutes for a total of 6 minutes grill time.
