Ingredients
4 lbs beef short ribs, bone-in
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, roughly chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2-inch piece fresh ginger, sliced
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup rice wine or dry sherry
1 cup beef stock
2 tbsp sesame oil
2 star anise pods
1 cinnamon stick
2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Season short ribs generously with salt and pepper.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy ovenproof pot over medium-high heat.
4. Sear short ribs on all sides until deeply browned; remove and set aside.
5. In the same pot, add onion, garlic, and ginger; sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
6. Add soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, rice wine, beef stock, sesame oil, star anise, and cinnamon stick. Stir to combine.
7. Return the short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid.
8. Cover tightly with a lid or foil and transfer to the oven.
9. Roast for 3–3.5 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
10. Remove ribs and skim excess fat from the sauce. Simmer sauce on the stove to reduce slightly if desired.
11. Serve ribs drizzled with the rich sauce and topped with green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
Serve with jasmine rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed bok choy.
For extra flavor, marinate the ribs in the sauce for a few hours before cooking.
Leftovers taste even better the next day after the flavors have deepened.
