Hawaiian Style Teriyaki Beef Short Ribs
This recipe for Hawaiian Style Teriyaki Beef Short Ribs is so simple, it just takes a few minutes to make the Teriyaki Base Sauce | Marinade, tossed with beef short ribs and left for 2 days in the refrigerator for optimum marination.

The Hawaiian Style Teriyaki Beef Short Ribs can be cooked in two different ways; slow-cooked in the oven or quickly grilled over a hot flame.
Beef Short Ribs are butchered a few different ways. As the meat from the brisket, plate, rib, and chuck cuts meet, these rib bones near the belly of the cow are full of flavor. In between the beef bones are all types of connective tissue. The meat is well marbled and has lots of flavors. Butchers cut them with the bone (or English cut), to make individual short ribs, that can be marinated, seared, and braised. This cut can be taken a step further and the bone removed to create a boneless short rib. Or, as for this recipe, the rib bones are cut with a band-saw across the bone (flanken cut), perpendicular to the bone, exposing the cross-section of the bone, surrounded by the muscle. This flanken cut is common for Hawaiian short ribs | Maui-Style Ribs or Korean short ribs recipes.
Pineapple juice, orange juice, fresh ginger, honey, molasses, garlic, seasoned rice vinegar, Chinese five-spice powder, soy sauce, and an American IPA all combine to create a perfect tenderizing and flavorful marinade for these beef short ribs. As the pineapple juice, orange juice, rice wine vinegar, and beer all have a low pH, the resulting marinade will help break down the different muscle tissues, resulting in falling off the bone deliciousness. Yet another reason why to cook with beer in the beer kitchen.

- 3 pound beef short ribs, flanken-cut, about 1/2 inch thick (cut across the bones, not with the bones)
- 1/2 recipe Teriyaki Base Sauce | Marinade, recipe here
- 2 each onions, green, washed and sliced thin, for garnish

Take the remaining marinate and place in a medium-sized pot over low heat; bring to a boil and simmer until reduced by a third. Using a brush, baste the ribs before serving, and serve the sauce on the side.
