Ingredients

• 4 pounds beef short ribs
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup hoisin sauce
• 12 ounces dark beer (e.g., stout or porter)
• 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

Season the beef short ribs generously with kosher salt and black pepper, then dust them with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until deeply browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the ribs and set them aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onions and chopped carrots to the pot. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the hoisin sauce, beer, beef broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and grated ginger to the pot. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Return the seared short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are partially submerged in the liquid.

Step 8

Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and falling off the bone.

Step 9

Carefully remove the pot from the oven. Skim off any excess fat from the surface of the sauce using a spoon.

Step 10

Serve the short ribs hot, spooning the rich sauce over them. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
