GRILLED PINEAPPLE-AND-COLA SHORT RIBS
This recipe is a combination of my love for (and copious consumption of) Korean food, and also a celebration of my grandmother Lola's favorite Filipino barbecue dish from family cookouts. The first time I learned that a soda would be used for in a marinade it blew my mind. The Korean-cut short rib this recipe calls for has a lot of surface area, maximizing the amount of flavor you can get from the surrounding ingredients. Expect sweet, tangy and savory jerk-like notes from the meat. Topping the ribs with a fresh, spicy cucumber-and-cabbage salad that gets inspiration from kimchi helps cut through any excess sweetness or fattiness from the ribs, and I keep it real with some jasmine rice.

Steps:
- Combine the cola, pineapple juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, sriracha and garlic in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Add the short ribs and be sure to completely submerge them in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or, better yet, overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and place a grill pan over high heat. Line a sheet pan with foil and grease foil with 1/4 cup of the oil. Pour the remaining 1/4 cup of vegetable oil onto the grill pan.
- Remove the ribs from the marinade and season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill the rib pieces until they have nice grill marks, about 1 minute per side. Place on the prepared sheet pan and place in the oven for 8 minutes.
- For the quick kimchi salad: Combine the cucumbers, cabbage, vinegar, sriracha, fish sauce, pepper flakes and sugar in a small bowl and mix vigorously. Refrigerate, uncovered, until serving.
- Serve the ribs with the salad and rice. Enjoy!
