Fire up the charcoal grill.

Prepare the marinade by blending together water, low sodium soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, ginger, black pepper, sesame oil, fresh garlic, red pepper flakes, and onion.

Cut the seeds out of the onion before blending.

Layer the beef short ribs in a container, covering them with the marinade, and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat the grill with leftover charcoal, ensuring an even coating on the bottom.

Pat off excess marinade from the ribs before grilling.

Place the ribs on the grill and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes on one side, watching for flare-ups.

Rotate the ribs to cook evenly and achieve a nice char.

Do not close the grill lid to keep the coals hot and allow for a flame-kissed flavor.

Flip the ribs and continue cooking until they reach desired doneness, checking for color and caramelization.

Garnish the cooked ribs with chopped green onions before serving.
