2 tablespoons canola oil
5 large onions, roughly chopped (about 5 cups)
6 carrots, roughly chopped (about 3 1/2 cups)
1/2 bunch celery, roughly chopped (about 3 cups)
2 medium fennel bulbs (sometimes called anise; 1 1/2 to 2 pounds total), stalks discarded and bulbs roughly chopped
4 lemongrass stalks, root ends trimmed, tough outer leaves discarded, and finely chopped
3 tablespoons garlic, minced (about 6 to 7 cloves)

ASIAN-STYLE BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 pounds beef short ribs, cut into 4-ounce portions
1 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 (5-inch) stalk lemongrass, halved and smashed
1 tablespoon peeled and minced ginger
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 quart water
1/2 cup sliced green onion bottoms, white part only
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Jasmine Rice, for serving
2 teaspoons finely grated orange rind, for serving
Sliced green onion tops, optional for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a wide stockpot or Dutch oven, combine the short ribs, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, lemongrass, ginger, brown sugar, water, green onion bottoms, crushed red pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the orange juice. Make sure that the stockpot is deep enough so that the short ribs are submerged in the liquid.
  • Bake the short ribs, covered, for about 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bones. Remove the short ribs from the braising liquid and cover to keep warm. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
  • Drain the fat off of the cooking liquid and discard. Place the remaining braising juices in a medium saucepan with 1/4 cup of the hoisin sauce and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the liquid until only about 1 1/4 cups remain. Strain through a fine-meshed strainer, discarding the solids. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of orange juice and the lemon juice.
  • Return the short ribs and the reduced sauce to the stockpot or Dutch oven, coating the short ribs well with the sauce. Bake for 10 minutes, until the short ribs are heated through and slightly glazed. Serve hot over jasmine rice. Season each portion with the orange zest and garnish with the green onions if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality short ribs. Look for short ribs that are well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep them moist during cooking.
  • Brown the short ribs before braising. This will help develop their flavor and color.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid. The braising liquid is what will infuse the short ribs with flavor, so be sure to use a liquid that you enjoy the taste of. Some good options include beef broth, red wine, or a combination of the two.
  • Add vegetables to the braising liquid. This will help add flavor and nutrients to the dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and garlic.
  • Cook the short ribs until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. This will typically take at least 2 hours.
  • Serve the short ribs with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Asian-braised short ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your short ribs turn out perfectly every time.
