Method

1. 1 Slice the rib meat off the bone into long strips, leaving one end still attached to the bone.
2. 2 Soak the ribs in cold water for 1 hour, changing the water three times to remove the blood and give the meat a lighter color.
3. 3 Blend pears with garlic and onions, then mix in soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and soju to make a marinade.
4. 4 Marinate for 8 hours in the refrigerator; the enzymes in pears tenderize the meat, so do not marinate for more than 12 hours or the meat will become tough.
5. 5 Grill over high heat for 3 minutes on each side; the sauce is sweet, so you need to flip it frequently.
6. 6 Cut into pieces with scissors right on the grill, then wrap in lettuce leaves with chopped scallions.

With an appliance

• Charcoal grill 40 min

  Grill at 250 degrees for 4 minutes per side; place a tray to catch the dripping marinade to prevent burning and smoke.

• Air fryer 40 min

  Steam over medium heat at 200 degrees Celsius for 12 minutes, flipping at minute 7; arrange in a thin layer so that the meat can sear on one side.
