Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Marinade

  • 4 pounds beef short ribs
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili paste (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Garnish

  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare Beef: Rinse the beef short ribs under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Make Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, chili paste if using, and black pepper. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well blended.
  3. Marinate Beef: Place the short ribs into a large resealable plastic bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the ribs, making sure they are completely coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight to develop deep flavors.
  4. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (160°C) to begin warming up for the slow roasting process.
  5. Sear Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the ribs from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and sear the ribs in the hot skillet for about 3–4 minutes on each side, until browned and caramelized on all sides.
  6. Transfer to Roasting Pan: Place the seared short ribs into a roasting pan and pour any leftover marinade evenly over the ribs.
  7. Cover and Roast: Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Slow roast for 3 to 4 hours until the meat is tender and nearly falling off the bone.
  8. Remove Foil to Caramelize: During the last 30 minutes of roasting, remove the foil to allow the surface of the ribs to caramelize and develop a rich, sticky crust.
  9. Check Tenderness: Test the ribs by gently pulling with a fork; the meat should be fork-tender and easily pulled apart. If not, continue roasting until tender.
  10. Rest and Serve: Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Marinate the ribs overnight for the best flavor and tenderness.
  • Be sure to sear the ribs properly to develop a rich caramelized crust before slow roasting.
  • Use foil to cover the ribs during roasting to keep the meat moist.
  • Remove the foil near the end to create a sticky, caramelized surface.
  • Serve with steamed rice or Asian-style vegetables for a complete meal.
