ASIAN-STYLE BRAISED SHORT RIBS



Asian-Style Braised Short Ribs image

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:

  • Choose the right ribs: Look for short ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that they are tender and flavorful after cooking.
  • Brown the ribs before braising: Browning the ribs before braising helps to develop their flavor and color. You can do this in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Use a good quality braising liquid: The braising liquid is what will flavor the ribs, so it's important to use a good quality liquid. A combination of beef broth, red wine, and soy sauce is a good option.
  • Cook the ribs until they are fall-off-the-bone tender: This will typically take at least 2 hours, but it may take longer depending on the size of the ribs. You can check the ribs for doneness by inserting a fork into the meat. If the fork slides in easily, the ribs are done.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for Asian short ribs include rice, noodles, and vegetables.

Conclusion:

Asian short ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your short ribs are tender, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone delicious.
