Ingredients
- 4 lbs 2-inch thick beef short ribs
- 4 tbsp Malaysian Curry Powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Coconut Curry Sauce
- 6 cloves garlic
- 3 lemon grass ends trimmed and chopped
- 2 red Fresno chiles or jalapenos seeds removed
- 1 shallot chopped
- 2 tbsp ginger paste See Note 1
- 27 oz cans coconut milk (two 13.5 ounce cans)
- 1 tbsp Malaysian Curry Powder See Note 2
Garnish
- 1 cup cilantro leaves for garnish
- Fresh limes for serving sliced
Instructions
- Rub Malaysian Curry Powder spice blend on all sides of each short rib, pressing to adhere. Allow to rest for 1 hour or overnight covered and refrigerated.
- In a food processor or blender add garlic, lemon grass, chiles, shallot and ginger and purée until broken down and chopped well. Add curry powder and coconut milk. Process for 1-2 minutes, it will not be completely smooth.
- Allow short ribs to come to room temperature. In a large Dutch oven add the oil and brown short ribs on all sides.
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Pour coconut curry sauce over browned short ribs and cover. Bake for 3 hours. After 1 hour check to see that liquid level is at least half way up on short ribs and add water if needed. Spoon sauce over short ribs, cover and continue braising.
- If using bone in short ribs, remove bone and discard. Serve beef short ribs over steamed rice and top with cilantro and lime slices.

Notes
- If you can’t find ginger paste, substitute 2″ piece of ginger, peeled, chopped.
- Feel free to substitute any curry powder, but my Malaysian Curry Powder spice blend is perfect for this.
