Description
Korean Braised Short Ribs are a delicious and flavorful dish that combines tender beef short ribs with a savory and slightly sweet sauce, perfect for serving over rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds beef short ribs, bone-in
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece ginger, grated
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef short ribs and sear on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the ribs and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, gochujang, and beef broth. Pour this mixture into the pot with the onions, garlic, and ginger.
- Return the seared short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Bring to a simmer.
- Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
- Once done, remove the pot from the oven and let it cool slightly. Skim off any excess fat from the surface of the sauce.
- Serve the short ribs over steamed rice, drizzled with the braising sauce, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of gochujang or add sliced fresh chili peppers to the braise.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the short ribs once cooked, and simmer the sauce on the stovetop until it reduces to your desired consistency before serving.
