Mini Shortribs

Natural Jus & Butter Sauce

Method

Cooking Mini Shortribs

  1. 1

    Season the Ribs

    Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the short ribs with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Ribs

    In a large oven-safe pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Aromatics

    Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot, cooking until softened, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Braise

    Add beef broth, soy sauce, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to the oven. Cook for 3 hours until tender.

Preparing Tempura

  1. 5

    Prepare the Batter

    In a bowl, mix tempura batter mix with cold water until just combined.

  2. 6

    Heat Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 7

    Fry the Fish

    Coat the fish fillets in the tempura batter and carefully fry in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Cooking Sunny Egg

  1. 8

    Fry the Eggs

    In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, crack the eggs and cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Season with salt and pepper.

Making Natural Jus & Butter Sauce

  1. 9

    Prepare Jus

    Once short ribs are finished, strain the cooking liquid and reduce it on medium heat until slightly thickened.

  2. 10

    Add Butter

    Whisk in unsalted butter and fresh herbs into the reduced jus until emulsified.
