Slice scallion pieces lengthwise into thin strips. Soak in a mesh strainer set inside a large bowl of ice water ⏱️ 10 minutes to remove some sharp bite and allow time to curl slightly. Swish scallions around with your hands to remove any sliminess, then drain well and pat dry. Wipe out bowl; return scallions to bowl.

Whisk vinegar, mirin, gochugaru, and sugar in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved; season with salt. Add dressing to scallions and toss to coat.

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Remove short ribs from marinade and grill until well browned and slightly charred around edges, about ⏱️ 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter and top with sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Let rest ⏱️ 5 minutes, then cut meat into bite-size pieces with kitchen shears.
