1. Combine all marinade ingredients (everything except the beef ribs) in a small blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Pour the marinade over the ribs in a shallow baking dish and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 48 hours.
2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Grill the ribs over direct heat for about 3 minutes on the first side (or until the ribs release easily and have nice grill marks), keeping the lid closed. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes on the other side. Transfer the ribs to a serving plate, tent with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes:
If you don’t have Asian pear, substitute 1/4 cup pineapple juice — it also contains tenderizing enzymes and adds great flavour.
You can substitute brown sugar or maple syrup for the honey.
Instead of grilling, ribs can be cooked under a preheated broiler, on a lightly oiled stovetop grill pan preheated for at least 5 minutes over high heat, or in an air fryer at 390ºF (200ºC) for about 5 minutes.
Ribs sliced 1/4" thin grill faster and are more tender with better marinade absorption but tend to fall apart more than 1/2" thick ribs. For a beautiful presentation, opt for thicker ribs.
