Ingredients

4 servings

For the ribs

3 lb flanken-cut beef short ribs (about ¼-inch thick)

For the marinade

1 asian pear (or bosc pear), peeled, cored, and roughly chopped
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
Ingredient note
Interstitial cystitis treats warming spices like ginger as test-your-tolerance because they can irritate a sensitive bladder, but the small amount in this recipe (~3/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
¼ cup coconut aminos
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp avocado oil
1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
Ingredient note
Black pepper can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp fine sea salt

For serving

3 green onions (scallions), white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
Ingredient note
Interstitial cystitis flags onions and the allium family as common bladder irritants, especially raw, but scallions are milder and are used cooked or in small amounts here, so they are likely tolerated by many with interstitial cystitis. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted (optional)
Can be omitted
sesame seeds

Instructions

1
Rinse the short ribs under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Score any thick sections of meat lightly with a knife to help the marinade penetrate.
2
Combine the pear, garlic, ginger, coconut aminos, honey, sesame oil, avocado oil, black pepper, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
