Cuisine Beef
- 4 pounds 1/2" Maika'i Bone-In Beef Short Rib
- 2 packs NOH Char Siu Marinade
- 3/4 cup Water
- 1 cup Hoisin sauce
- 1 bunch Watercress
- 3 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt (as needed)
- Hondashi (optional)
- Roasted sesame seed (optional)
Marinade
In a mixing bowl, combine the NOH Char Siu Marinade, water, and hoisin sauce. Stir until the marinade powder is fully dissolved.
Place the short ribs in a zip-top bag and pour in ¾ of the marinade, reserving the remaining ¼ for basting.
Seal the bag and massage to coat the beef thoroughly.
Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (overnight for best results).
Watercress Namul
Wash and drain the watercress. Trim about ½" off the stems and discard the trimmings.
Chop the watercress into 1" segments and place them in a mixing bowl.
Season with sesame oil and salt to taste (optional: add a pinch of Hondashi for extra umami).
Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Beef Short Ribs
Preheat grill to high heat.
Lightly grease the grill grates with sesame oil.
Grill marinated short ribs for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until nicely charred.
While grilling, baste with the reserved marinade to build flavor and lacquer the surface.
Remove the ribs from the grill and rest for 3 to 5 minutes.
Slice between the bones and transfer to a serving plate.
Garnish with the prepared watercress namul and a sprinkle of roasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately.
