Ingredients
Before we get started, make sure you have all the ingredients on hand. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 4 pounds beef short ribs
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- 2 green onions, chopped, for garnish
- Sesame seeds for garnish
If you’re short on hoisin sauce, you can substitute with an equal amount of plum sauce. For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
Instructions
Now, let’s get cooking. Follow these steps to bring your Roast Asian Beef Short Rib to life:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy roasting pan, arrange the beef short ribs in a single layer.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
- Pour the sauce over the short ribs, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 3 to 3½ hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
- Once cooked, remove the ribs from the oven. Carefully transfer them to a serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Pour the cooking liquid into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
- Pour the thickened sauce over the short ribs, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and serve hot.
This dish reminds me of the patience and love that goes into cooking. Just like my abuela taught me, the best flavors come from taking your time and enjoying the process.
