  • Total Time: 3 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pounds beef short ribs, bone-in
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325Β°F.
  2. Season short ribs with salt and pepper. In a large ovenproof pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat and sear ribs on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove ribs.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, hoisin sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, beef broth, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes.
  4. Return ribs to pot, pour sauce over them, and bring to a simmer. Cover and transfer to oven.
  5. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, until meat is very tender and falling off the bone.
  6. Remove ribs from pot. Skim fat from sauce. Simmer sauce on stovetop until thickened and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
  7. Return ribs to pot, coat with sauce, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For extra caramelization, broil the coated ribs for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve over steamed rice or noodles.
