1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 scallions (with tops), minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon finely minced ginger root
1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 tablespoon flour

To use, make deep cuts in 4 pounds of meaty beef short ribs so the meat will absorb the marinade. Rub well with sugar and oil and let sit for 30 minutes. Combine Marinade ingredients, pour over ribs, and let stand for 1 hour.

Bake or barbecue, turning and basting frequently with marinade, for 20 to 30 minutes or until meat is cooked.
