Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • paper towels
  • long metal tongs
  • Grill or skillet (carbon steel or cast iron preferred)
  • Serving Platter

Ingredients

  • 1.25 - 1.5 lbs flanken-cut short ribs
  • 3 cups Filipino BBQ marinade recipe this is the ideal amount to fully coat and flavor 1.25–1.5 lbs of meat

Instructions

  • Add the flanken-cut short ribs to a large glass bowl or container with the Filipino BBQ marinade. Make sure all pieces are fully submerged, turning the meat once during marinating if needed for even coverage.
    Marinate overnight, or for at least 8–10 hours for best flavor and tenderizing.

  • Line a baking sheet with several layers of paper towels. Remove the meat from the marinade, place it on the towels, and gently pat off excess moisture. This helps achieve better searing and caramelization.

  • Heat a skillet (carbon steel or cast iron works best) or preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Place the short ribs on the hot surface and cook for 3–4 minutes per side. Once the meat looks deeply seared with glossy, lightly charred edges—and you can smell that irresistible caramelized aroma—flip to cook the other side.
    After both sides are seared, baste with marinade, flip once more, and cook for about 30 seconds to set the sauce. Remove from heat.
