Scrape the bone fragments from each flanken rib using a butter knife. These bone fragments collect on the meat during slicing, and biting into them could cause damage to your teeth.
Now make your marinade by combining the Bragg's Liquid Aminos, olive oil, white vinegar, worcestershire sauce, organic brown sugar, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Place the beef flanken ribs in a sealable plastic bag, pour in the marinade, and refrigerate for 3-4 hours.
Preheat the grill to medium-high, and cook for about 4 minutes per side.
Garnish your Kalbi ribs with sliced green onion and toasted sesame seeds for added allure.
Refrigerate cooked ribs in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat on the grill over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side, or in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.

Flanken ribs are cut across the bone rather than between the bones, creating thinner slices with multiple bone pieces. This cut cooks quickly—about 4 minutes per side—and is common in Korean and Jewish cuisine.

Yes. Substitute with gluten-free soy sauce or regular soy sauce in the same amount. Bragg's is slightly less salty, so reduce soy sauce by 1–2 tablespoons if using regular soy.
Preheat to medium-high heat. Cook each side for about 4 minutes until the marinade caramelizes and the meat is cooked through, for a total of 8 minutes.
