These Caramelized Asian Beef Short Ribs are sweet, savory, a little spicy, and fall-off-the-bone tender—perfect for a cozy family dinner or impressing guests.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs beef short ribs
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1–2 tsp sriracha or chili paste (optional)
- Green onions (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Marinate the ribs: In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, hoisin, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and sriracha. Add the ribs and coat them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Sear the ribs: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and sear the ribs for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned.
- Add the marinade: Pour the marinade into the skillet with the ribs. Bring it to a simmer, then transfer the skillet to the oven (or move everything to a baking dish).
- Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 2-2½ hours, turning the ribs every 30 minutes. The meat should be tender and falling off the bone.
- Caramelize: Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, basting the ribs with the sauce until sticky and caramelized.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, then serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
