Ingredients

• 3 lbs beef short ribs
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 0.333 cup soy sauce
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 2 stalks scallions, for garnishing
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

Season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the ribs and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Return the short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.

Step 10

Carefully remove the pot from the oven. Skim off any excess fat from the surface of the liquid.

Step 11

Serve the short ribs hot, garnished with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Pair with steamed rice or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
