Method

For the Braised Short Ribs

  1. 1

    Sear the Short Ribs

    In a large Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Braising Liquid

    In the same pot, add minced garlic, grated ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, star anise, and Sichuan peppercorns. Stir to combine.

  3. 3

    Braise the Ribs

    Return the seared short ribs to the pot and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Braise for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.

  4. 4

    Add Mushrooms

    In the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Once the ribs are tender, remove from heat. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.

For the Wasabi Mashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Cook the Potatoes

    Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add butter, milk, and wasabi paste to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve the wasabi mashed potatoes alongside the braised short ribs.
