Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 racks St. Louis-style spareribs (3 to 3 1/4 pounds each)
2 tablespoons scotch, whiskey or bourbon (optional)
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons scotch, whiskey or bourbon (optional)
3/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon Asian chili-garlic sauce
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the ribs: Place the ribs bone-side up on a work surface. Starting at one end, insert the tip of a knife between the membrane and the bones to loosen the membrane, then pull it off. Flip the ribs so they are meat-side up. Rub each rack with 1 tablespoon scotch, if using. Combine the brown sugar, 5 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, the ground ginger and paprika in a small bowl. Rub the ribs on both sides with the spice mixture. Wrap each rack in heavy-duty foil, then wrap in another layer of foil, making sure the seam is on the opposite side to prevent leaking. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat a grill to medium low (350 degrees F on gas or 335 degrees F on charcoal). Put the foil-wrapped ribs meat-side down on the grates. Grill, carefully flipping the ribs every 30 minutes, until the meat is tender but not falling apart and the tip of a paring knife inserted into the ribs meets slight resistance, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. (If using charcoal, add more coals as needed so the temperature stays between 300 degrees F and 325 degrees F.)
  • Meanwhile, make the barbecue sauce: Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and fresh ginger and cook, stirring often, until just beginning to brown, 5 to 6 minutes. If using the scotch, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the scotch, then return to the heat and cook until almost dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup water, the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, mustard, chili-garlic sauce and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick and glossy, about 30 minutes; you should have about 1 1/2 cups sauce. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. (You can make the sauce up to 1 day ahead; refrigerate until ready to use.) Divide the sauce between 2 bowls-half for cooking and half for serving.
  • When the ribs are ready, transfer to a baking sheet. Unwrap and discard the foil and any accumulated juices. Brush the meat side with the barbecue sauce and return to the grill, meat-side up. Cover and grill, moving the ribs around to prevent flare-ups, until the sauce cooks in, about 5 minutes. Brush the ribs with more sauce, flip and cook until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the ribs so they're meat-side up again, brush with more sauce and grill 5 more minutes. Flip the ribs again and brush the bone side with sauce, then flip again and brush the meat side one last time. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes.
  • Cut the racks into individual ribs. Serve with the reserved barbecue sauce.

KALBI (KOREAN MARINATED SHORT RIBS)



Kalbi (Korean Marinated Short Ribs) image

On my half-day off, I decided to relax by making my favorite Korean meat dish, kalbi (marinated short ribs). Serve with white rice and kimchi. If serving small children (and wanting to prevent a mess), it's best to cut the meat off the bone and slice into bite-sized pieces. The dark marinade can stain clothes, so be careful.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups soy sauce
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
6 garlic cloves, chopped
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled, chopped
8 star anise pods
4 (2-inch-thick) English-style bone-in beef short ribs (about 1 pound each)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 cups cooked white rice (from 1 cup uncooked)

1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Lime wedges and Sriracha (for serving)

Steps:

  • Whisk soy sauce, sugar, oil, red pepper flakes, garlic, ginger, star anise, and 1 cup water in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved. Add short ribs and place a small plate on top of short ribs to keep submerged. Cover bowl and chill at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Transfer marinade and ribs to a large Dutch oven and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and braise in oven, turning meat once, until ribs are very tender but not quite falling off the bone, 1 1/2-2 hours.

  • 4. Transfer the ribs to a platter or plates, sprinkle the scallion greens on top, and serve.

  • Variation
  • How to cook full-size Sweet Soy-Grilled Short Ribs:
  • You'll need about 3 to 4 pounds of bone-in individual short ribs. Make the marinade following the directions in Step 1, then marinate the short ribs for 3 to 4 hours. Set up the grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium (325° to 350°F). When ready to cook, brown the ribs on both sides directly over the fire before moving them to the center of the grate, over the drip pan and away from the heat, and covering the grill. The ribs will be tender and cooked through after 1 1/2 to 2 hours. If the ribs start to brown too much halfway through cooking, wrap them in aluminum foil.

GINGER-GLAZED SHORT RIBS



Ginger-Glazed Short Ribs image

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 5h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups dry red wine
7 to 8 pounds bone-in short ribs, separated into whole ribs
Kosher salt
2 whole heads garlic, papery outer skins removed, cut in half horizontally
5 large fresh shiitake mushroom caps, halved
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 medium yellow onions, peeled and quartered
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 4-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced crosswise 1/4-inch thick
About a dozen allspice berries, lightly crushed
1 cinnamon stick
1 sheet konbu, 5 inches by 6 inches available at Japanese or health-food stores
A dozen sprigs fresh thyme
6 to 8 cups chicken stock, homemade or low-sodium canned
6 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees. In a saucepan, boil the wine over high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup.
  • Generously sprinkle the ribs on all sides with salt and transfer to a large roasting pan, bone side up. Scatter the garlic, mushrooms, carrots, onions, celery, ginger, allspice, cinnamon, konbu and thyme on the ribs. Mix 6 cups of the stock and vinegar with the reduced wine and add to the ribs. The liquid should come about 2/3 of the way up the sides of the meat. Add more stock if needed.
  • Cover the pan tightly with layers of foil. Transfer to the oven and cook until the meat is very tender, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
  • Remove from the oven and carefully remove the foil. When the ribs are cool enough to handle, transfer them to a dish. Remove and discard the bones and any bits of vegetables and spice.
  • Strain the liquid in the pan through a sieve and discard the solids. Let the liquid settle, then spoon off the fat or use a fat separator. You should have about a quart of liquid. (At this point, you can refrigerate the meat and sauce, separately, for up to three days.)
  • To finish the dish, heat the oven to 375 degrees. Put the strained liquid back in the roasting pan and bring to a boil on the stove. Add the meat in a single layer. Transfer to the oven and baste frequently with the liquid, until shiny and thick but not sticky, and until the ribs are well glazed, 10 to 20 minutes. Serve the ribs with extra sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality short ribs: Look for short ribs that are well-marbled and have a good amount of meat on them. This will ensure that they are tender and flavorful after cooking.
  • Marinate the ribs for at least 4 hours, or overnight: This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the meat and make it more flavorful. If you are short on time, you can marinate the ribs for as little as 30 minutes.
  • Cook the ribs over medium-low heat: This will help to prevent them from becoming tough and overcooked. Cook the ribs until they are fall-off-the-bone tender, which should take about 2-3 hours.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides: Some popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and rice. You can also serve the ribs with a dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or hoisin sauce.

Conclusion:

Soy sauce marinated short ribs with ginger is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. The ribs are tender and flavorful, and the ginger adds a nice touch of spice. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
