Caramelized Slow Roast Asian Beef Short Ribs

Tender, juicy beef short ribs slow-cooked in a savory, caramelized Asian sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pounds beef short ribs
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • Jasmine rice (for serving)
  • Pickled veggies (for serving)
  • Steamed greens (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Start with those gorgeous beef short ribs. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat if needed.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Place your ribs in a large zip-top bag or a deep dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs and seal tightly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  4. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  5. In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the marinated ribs on each side until nicely browned (about 3-4 minutes per side).
  6. Pour the remaining marinade over the seared ribs and bring it to a simmer.
  7. Cover with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven. Slow-roast for about 2.5 to 3 hours.
  8. If desired, let your ribs sit uncovered for the last 30 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
  9. Allow the ribs to rest for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve over jasmine rice, garnishing with pickled veggies and steamed greens.

Notes

For a spicy kick, add sriracha to the marinade. For a vegetarian option, consider using meaty mushrooms in a similar marinade.
