Ingredients

• 3 lbs Beef short ribs
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
• 3 tbsp Honey
• 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp Ginger, freshly grated
• 3 Scallions, finely chopped
• 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Cold water (for slurry)
• 2 tsp Toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, scallions, red pepper flakes, and water. Mix thoroughly to create the sauce.

Step 2

Place the beef short ribs in the crock pot in a single layer.

Step 3

Pour the prepared sauce over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 4

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the ribs are tender and falling off the bone.

Step 5

Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the ribs from the crock pot and transfer them to a serving platter. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

Step 6

Strain the cooking liquid from the crock pot into a saucepan. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the simmering sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until thickened.

Step 8

Drizzle the thickened sauce over the ribs. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and optional chopped cilantro for garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately with steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
