Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef short ribs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 large Onion, finely chopped
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 cups Beef or chicken broth
• 2 pieces Star anise
• 2 Scallions, for garnish
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Pat the short ribs dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Sear the short ribs for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the ribs and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add chopped onion to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly golden.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.

Step 8

Add the beef broth and star anise to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Let the short ribs braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is extremely tender and falling off the bone.

Step 11

Once cooked, remove the pot from the oven. Skim off any excess fat from the surface of the sauce if necessary.

Step 12

Serve the short ribs hot, spooning the sauce over the top. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Step 13

Enjoy alongside steamed rice or your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
