Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef short ribs
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 14 oz canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
• 4 cups beef stock
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 medium potatoes, diced
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef short ribs generously with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Sear the short ribs in batches until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the short ribs and set them aside.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened and lightly golden.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently to develop its flavor.

Step 7

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes along with their juices and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.

Step 8

Return the short ribs to the pot and add the beef stock, ensuring the ribs are mostly submerged.

Step 9

Add the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, soy sauce, honey, bay leaf, and the remaining teaspoon of salt.

Step 10

Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. The meat should become tender and easily pull away from the bone.

Step 11

Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 12

Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Pair it with crusty bread or steamed rice for a complete meal.
