Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Asian Beef Short Rib
  1. Start by trimming any excess fat from the bone-in beef short ribs and patting them dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the seasoned ribs for about 3-5 minutes on each side until golden.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, mirin, and brown sugar. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and optional chili flakes or Sriracha. Whisk until fully combined.
  4. Transfer the seared ribs to a Dutch oven, pour marinade over, and add sliced onion and green onions. Cover and roast at 275–300°F for 3-4 hours.
  5. Once tender, pour the braising liquid into a skillet and simmer until thickened, about 10-15 minutes. Optionally mix cornstarch with water and add to thicken sauce.
  6. For a crispy finish, broil cooked ribs on a baking sheet for 2-3 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  7. Plate the ribs over steamed rice, noodles, or roasted vegetables. Drizzle with glaze and garnish with green onions or sesame seeds.

Notes

Marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for better flavor. Searing adds essential flavor, and basting during roasting keeps ribs moist.
