Asian Braised Short Ribs
Description
This recipe uses flanken-style beef short ribs coated in seasoned flour and browned in canola oil to develop a caramelized exterior. Aromatics including minced garlic, sliced green onions, and fresh ginger are sautéed to release their fragrance. The pan is deglazed with beef stock, then combined with soy sauce, hoisin, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and chile-garlic sauce to form the braising liquid. The ribs are transferred to a Dutch oven and cooked covered in a 350°F oven for about two hours until very tender.
The resulting dish offers deep umami flavors with a subtle sweetness and brightness from the vinegar. The meat is tender and infused with a complex sauce, perfect as a main course alongside steamed rice or vegetables. The red pepper flakes provide a gentle warmth without overpowering the other flavors.
