Instructions
- Fire up your charcoal grill. As the coals heat up, combine the salt and pepper, then rub the mixture thoroughly into the beef. Next, work the minced garlic into the meat evenly. Pour in the vermouth along with the soy sauce, and blend everything together once more. Allow the ribs to marinate for 20 to 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Arrange the short ribs on the preheated grill and cook them to your preferred level of doneness, turning as needed for even charring.
