Ingredients
  

For the Ribs

  • 3 pounds Bone-in Beef Short Ribs Opt for well-marbled pieces.
  • 1 small Sliced Onion Essential for authentic taste.
  • 2-3 pieces Green Onions Optional for garnish.

For the Marinade

  • 1/2 cup Soy Sauce Substitute tamari for gluten-free.
  • 1/4 cup Hoisin Sauce No direct substitution suggested.
  • 1/4 cup Mirin Elevates flavor profile.
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Can swap with coconut sugar.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced, no substitutions recommended.

Instructions
 

Steps to Make Ribs

  • Start by trimming excess fat from the short ribs, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs for 5-7 minutes on each side until they’re beautifully golden-brown.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, mirin, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes. Whisk until well blended.
  • Place the seared ribs into a Dutch oven. Pour the marinade over the top and sprinkle the sliced onions. Cover and roast at 275-300°F for 3-4 hours.
  • Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the oven. Pour the braising liquid into a skillet and simmer it over medium heat for 10-15 minutes.
  • Broil the ribs on high for 2-3 minutes until caramelized, but keep a close eye to avoid burning.
  • Let the ribs rest for a few minutes. Serve over jasmine rice or noodles, drizzle with the glaze, and garnish with sliced green onions.

Notes

Optional: Serve with steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
