Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Beef: Rinse beef short ribs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. This ensures even reheating.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, chili paste, and black pepper until sugar dissolves.
  3. Marinate the Beef: Coat each rib in the marinade, place in a zip-top bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  4. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) to prepare for slow roasting the beef.
  5. Sear the Beef: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each side of the beef short ribs for 3-4 minutes until browned.
  6. Transfer to Roasting Pan: Place the seared ribs in a roasting pan and pour remaining marinade over them.
  7. Cover and Roast: Seal tightly with aluminum foil and roast for 3-4 hours until fork-tender.
  8. Remove Foil for Caramelization: Remove the foil about 30 minutes before serving to allow beef to caramelize.
  9. Check Tenderness: After the uncovered roasting period, ensure ribs are fork-tender and adjust roasting time as necessary.
  10. Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven, let rest for 10-15 minutes, slice, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
