Ingredients
  

For the Beef
  • 2 pounds Beef Short Ribs Choose well-marbled ribs for the best flavor and tenderness.
For the Marinade
  • 1 cup Soy Sauce Adds depth to the dish; try tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Provides sweetness and contributes to that delicious caramelization.
  • 1/4 cup Rice Vinegar Brings acidity to balance the flavors; apple cider vinegar can work in a pinch.
  • 1/4 cup Hoisin Sauce Introduces a sweet and savory element that enhances the marinade.
  • 2 tablespoons Ginger (minced) Fresh ginger gives the best flavor; ground ginger is acceptable if necessary.
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced) Fresh garlic elevates the dish; opt for whole cloves whenever possible.
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame Oil Adds a nutty aroma; extra-virgin olive oil is a substitute but will change the flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Paste (optional) For a bit of heat, use Sriracha or gochujang to customize spice levels.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Enhances flavor with its sharp notes.
For Garnish
  • 1/4 cup Green Onions (chopped) Freshness and color boost the visual appeal of the dish.
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame Seeds Provide a nutty crunch and complement the overall taste beautifully.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by rinsing the beef short ribs under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels.
  2. 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 well combined.
  3. Coat the short ribs thoroughly in the marinade, ensuring every inch is covered, then refrigerate them for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  4. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  5. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the marinated beef short ribs for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  6. Carefully place the seared beef short ribs into a roasting pan and pour any remaining marinade over the ribs.
  7. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and roast for 3-4 hours, checking occasionally.
  8. In the last 30 minutes of roasting, carefully remove the foil.
  9. After the roasting time is complete, check the tenderness of the ribs.
  10. Once done, let the beef short ribs rest for 10-15 minutes before garnishing with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Allow the beef to marinate overnight for a deeper flavor infusion. Ensure the ribs are fork-tender before serving. A sprinkle of green onions and sesame seeds adds a pop of color.
