Korean Inspired Braised Short Ribs Recipes

Steps:

• Soak beef short ribs in a large bowl of cold water to remove residual blood, about 30 minutes.
• Place short ribs, onion, ginger, and 2 cloves garlic in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, skimming any foam that floats to the top, 20 to 30 minutes. Measure out 2 cups of broth and reserve. Drain short ribs and rinse under cold water; discard onion, ginger, and garlic. Cool until easily handled.
• Make slits in each short rib to remove or cut away excess fat.
• Return short ribs to the pot. Add reserved broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, 4 minced garlic cloves, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Simmer over low heat until flavors combine, about 45 minutes. Add potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, chestnuts, and dates. Continue simmering until potatoes are tender and sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
• Stir corn syrup into the sauce. Simmer until sauce has a slightly syrupy consistency, about 5 minutes more. Garnish with green onion slices and serve.

Steps:

• To make the sauce, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, fresh ginger, ground ginger, brown sugar, water, rice wine, pear, kiwi, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
• Fill a large stockpot with cold water. Soak the short ribs in the water for 30 minutes to 1 hour to pull out impurities. Drain. Score ribs by slicing shallow criss cross cuts across the meat.
• Fill the stockpot with clean water and bring to a boil. Simmer the short ribs in the water for 30 minutes. Drain. Return the simmered ribs to the pot; pour in the sauce, bring to a low boil. Simmer the ribs in the sauce for 60 minutes. Stir in the carrot, potatoes, green onions, yellow onion, chestnuts, and shiitake mushrooms. Simmer until vegetables are tender, at least 30 additional minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, brown the short ribs on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the ribs to a plate and clean the pot. Add the garlic, scallion whites and pale greens and remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the Dutch oven and cook over medium heat, stirring, until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until the color darkens, about 30 seconds. Add the Canada Dry Ginger Ale and soy sauce and bring to a boil, stirring to incorporate the tomato paste. Gently place the ribs and any accumulated juices in the pot. Cover and cook in the oven until fork-tender, about 1½ hours. Transfer the pot to the stovetop, uncover and cook over medium heat, spooning the sauce over the ribs occasionally so they don't dry out, until the sauce is very thick and glazes the ribs, 25 to 30 minutes more. Meanwhile, finely chop the scallion greens. Mix half of them together with the jalapeno, lime zest and sesame seeds in a small bowl. (Reserve the remaining greens for another use.) Transfer the ribs to a platter, sprinkle with the sesame mixture and serve with lettuce leaves, steamed rice and kimchi.
