- Made with 3lb of short ribs, I ate like 2 lbs of it.
- Marinated with 4 hrs, but could have gone longer. Used a peach instead of asian pear. Went heavy on the garlic/green onion. Used a marinating bag.
- The grill was about 450F, and slightly overcooked it. Open flame, lots of smoke, for about 5-6 mins each side. Great char.
- Not sure if the peach made a difference, but it definitely could have been more tender. Flavor was perfect if not better than kbbq restuarants from marinade.
- Didn’t cover the ribs first with sugar, but will try out next, could have been a tad bit sweeter. 6/10, 9/10 if tender.
