Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Short Ribs

    In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Place the beef short ribs in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Remove from Marinade

    After marinating, remove the short ribs from the marinade and allow excess liquid to drip off. Discard the marinade.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Ribs

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

  2. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 5

    Deglaze the Pot

    Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any brown bits. Allow the wine to reduce for about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 6

    Add Broth and Herbs

    Add the beef broth, thyme, and bay leaves to the pot. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 7

    Return the Ribs

    Return the seared short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Cover with a lid.

  6. 8

    Slow Cook

    Reduce the heat to low and let the short ribs cook for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until they are fork-tender.

  7. 9

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the short ribs from the pot and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with the braising liquid spooned over.
