Method

Braised Short Ribs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Season the short ribs with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Ribs

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Liquid and Simmer

    Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Add bay leaves. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 2-3 hours until the ribs are tender.

  5. 5

    Shred the Meat

    Once cooked, remove the ribs from the pot. Shred the meat, discarding bones and excess fat. Return the shredded meat to the pot and mix with the sauce.

Asian Slaw

  1. 6

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped cilantro.

  2. 7

    Make Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, salt, and black sesame seeds.

  3. 8

    Toss Slaw

    Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to combine. Let sit for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Blackberry Hoisin Sauce

  1. 9

    Combine Ingredients

    In a blender, combine hoisin sauce, fresh blackberries, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and sesame oil.

  2. 10

    Blend Smooth

    Blend until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Flatbread Assembly

    Prepare Flatbreads

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place flatbreads on a baking sheet.

  2. 12

    Add Toppings

    Spread a generous amount of braised short ribs on each flatbread. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and candied Fresno chilis.

  3. 13

    Bake

    Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
