For the marinade
- 3 lb flanken-cut beef short ribs (about Ā¼-inch thick)
- 1 medium asian pear (or bosc pear), peeled, cored, and roughly chopped
- Ā¼ cup coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbsp avocado oil

Ingredient noteInterstitial 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.
- Ā½ tsp black pepper
Ingredient noteBlack pepper can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 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.
- Ā¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Can be omittedred pepper flakes
For serving
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Can be omittedsesame seeds
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
Ingredient noteInterstitial 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.
