An easy, different and quick way to enjoy the bone-in beef short ribs. Different from the time-consuming braising method, the flavourful Asian recipe requires little effort in both cooking and after-cooking cleaning. The key to the dish, is to marinade the beef ribs long enough to help tenderize the meat and allow the flavour to infuse. The fat is largely rendered while the flavour and moisture of the meat is retained.
Serves 3-4
- 3 to 4 pounds (1.5 to 1.8 kilograms) bone-in beef short ribs
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Marinade
- ½ medium-size yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Japanese sake or high-quality Chinese cooking wine
- 1 large Asia pear, core and chopped into cubes (optional)
Dipping sauce (optional)
- 2 Spring onions, minced
- 1 tablespoon Korean chili powder
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
Method
- Pat dry the ribs with kitchen towel. Generously season the short ribs with salt and ground black peppercorn and let is stand for about 10-15 minutes. Place the beef ribs in a large bowl.
- Place the ingredients of the Marinade into a separate bowl. Mix well. Pour them into the large short ribs bowl. Make sure each piece of short ribs is coated with marinade ingredients/sauce. Leave the ribs rest for at least 2 hours to allow flavours to permeate and tenderize the meat.
- When ready to cook, remove the marinade ingredients from the ribs. Broil the ribs in the oven (use double aluminium foil lined baking tray) or grill them in a barbeque grill. Cook two sides of the beef ribs respective 6 and 5 minutes for medium rare, or 8 and 6 minutes if you prefer medium/well done.
