Soy Braised Shortribs Recipes

ASIAN SHORT RIBS {SLOW COOKER OR OVEN BRAISED}

Steps:

• Add the soy sauce, broth, brown sugar, ginger, sesame oil, and chili garlic sauce into the bowl of an Instant Pot, Slow Cooker, OR a heavy bottom saucepan with a lid (preferably a dutch oven), OR a ceramic baking dish with a lid. Whisk to combine and then add the short ribs, turning them in the liquid to coat.
• Too cook the short ribs in an Instant Pot: Close the lid and choose the manual high pressure function set to high. Cook the short ribs for 45 minutes, followed by a 10 - 15 minute natural release.
• To cook the short ribs in a slow cooker: Cover with the lid and cook the short ribs until the meat is so tender it's falling off the bone, about 4-5 hours on high or 7-8 on low. If possible, stir the meat in the sauce halfway through cooking.
• To cook the short ribs in the oven: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (162 degrees C). Cook in covered pot or baking dish for 3-4 hours, until the meat is so tender it's falling off the bone. If possible, stir the meat in the sauce halfway through cooking.
• If using the meat in another recipe: Use tongs to remove meat from the slow cooker to a plate or cutting board and let sit until cool enough to handle, then proceed with the recipe.
• Strain the cooking liquid into a bowl; discard any solids left in the strainer. Let the sauce sit undisturbed for 5-10 minutes than skim as much excess fat from the top of the liquid as possible, discarding the fat. *If possible, put the cooking liquid into the refrigerator, uncovered, for an hour or two (or, covered, for up to 2 days). This will allow the excess fat in the liquid to harden across the top of the liquid, making it very easy to remove.
• To thicken the sauce with cornstarch: Add the cornstarch and about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid to a bowl and stir to combine. Add the rest of the strained cooking liquid to a heavy bottom saucepan. Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the sauce in the saucepan. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, and let simmer, stirring frequently, for 5-10 minutes, until the sauce is thick and has reduced slightly. (If, after 10 minutes of cooking, the sauce isn't as thick as you like, add about 1/2 cup of sauce to another tablespoon of cornstarch and whisk back into the saucepan. OR, just continue to simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes. The sauce will continue to reduce and thicken the longer you allow it to simmer.
• To thicken the sauce by reducing it (without cornstarch): Add the strained cooking liquid to a heavy bottom saucepan and set it over medium high heat. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce has reduced to the desired consistency. This should take between 10 and 20 minutes.

SOY-BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH SHIITAKES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Generously season the short ribs all over with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
• Add the dried shiitake mushrooms to a large heatproof bowl and pour in enough boiling water to cover. Cover with plastic wrap and let soak for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Heat the canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Working in 2 batches, sear the short ribs on all sides until deeply browned and crispy, about 10 minutes total. Remove the ribs from the pot and transfer to a plate.
• To pan with excess oil and beef fat, add the onion, Asian pear, ginger, scallions, and garlic, then cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly browned, about 10 minutes.
• Add the rice wine and stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Add the drained shiitake mushrooms, 1 cup (240 ml) of the shiitake soaking liquid, the sugar, light and dark soy sauces, gochujang, mirin, and sesame oil. Stir and bring to a boil.
• Nestle the short ribs back into the sauce, cover, and braise in the oven for 3 hours, or until the short ribs are tender enough to fall off the bone.
• Serve the short ribs over rice with the braising liquid spooned on top. Top with kimchi, sliced scallions, and toasted sesame seeds.
• Enjoy!

ASIAN-STYLE BRAISED SHORT RIBS

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.

SOY SAUCE-MARINATED SHORT RIBS WITH GINGER

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.
• Transfer ribs to a medium bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. Strain braising liquid into a medium saucepan; discard solids. Let sit a minute or so to settle, then ladle off fat from surface; discard. Bring braising liquid to a boil and cook, whisking occasionally, until reduced by half, 10-15 minutes.
• Whisk cornstarch and 3 Tbsp. water in a small bowl to make a slurry, then whisk into reduced braising liquid. Cook over medium, whisking constantly, until glaze is thick and bubbling, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice.
• Mound rice in center of shallow bowls and place ribs on top. Drizzle about 2 Tbsp. glaze over each (you'll have plenty left over; save it and serve with grilled steak or chicken). Top with scallion and sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges and Sriracha.
