Short Rib

Phó Broth

Method

Short Rib Preparation

  1. 1

    Season and Sear the Ribs

    In a large bowl, season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the short ribs and sear them on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove the ribs and set them aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same Dutch oven, add chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients and Simmer

    Return the short ribs to the pot. Add beef broth, soy sauce, bay leaves, and dried thyme. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender.

Phó Broth Preparation

  1. 4

    Roast the Bones

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the beef bones in a roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes until browned. This adds depth to the broth.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, add roasted bones, sliced ginger, halved onion, star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for at least 6 hours, adding more water if needed to keep the bones covered.

  3. 6

    Finish the Broth

    After 6 hours, strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve to remove solids. Stir in fish sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.

  4. 7

    Serve with Garnishes

    Ladle the Phó broth into bowls and top with fresh lime slices, cilantro, basil, and jalapeño slices. Serve alongside the short ribs for a hearty meal.
