- Add the prepared meat to the marinade and let sit for 1/2 hour.
Step 2: Grill and Serve
- Preheat a hibachi or barbecue grill to high heat.
- Cook the lean short ribs for a couple of seconds per side until caramelized and done.
- Remove from heat and eat hot.
💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: Marinated meat can be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before grilling.
