Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 pounds of English-cut beef short ribs
  • ½ cup sake Japanese rice wine - sub for beef broth or water
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup mirin
  • 2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 10 whole garlic
  • 3 " ginger julienne or cut into slices
  • 3 dried chilis optional
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. In medium-high heat, brown the short ribs. Do not crowd, do it in batches.
  2. While the beef short ribs are browning, prep the rest of your ingredients. Ginger, garlic, and sauce.
  3. Set the beef aside and remove excess fat using a paper towel.
  4. Add the ginger, garlic, and dried chilis. Saute until fragrant for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add the sauce to the dutch oven.
  6. Add back the beef short ribs, and juices.
  7. Bring it to a boil, and bring the temperature down to a low simmer for 2 hours or until the short ribs are tender.
  8. Skim the fat from the top. Use a strainer and remove the ginger, garlic, and chilis. Squeeze out all the juices.
  9. Put the remaining braising juices back in the pot and reduce the sauce.
  10. Add a little cornstarch slurry (mixture of cornstarch and water) into the sauce to let it thicken.
  11. Serve it with white rice or noodles.

Notes

For best results, chill overnight as the fat rises and solidifies, which makes it easier to remove the fat.
