Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds beef short ribs
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup hoisin sauce
- 12 ounces dark beer (e.g., stout or porter)
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Season the beef short ribs generously with kosher salt and black pepper, then dust them with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until deeply browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the ribs and set them aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onions and chopped carrots to the pot. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Add the hoisin sauce, beer, beef broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and grated ginger to the pot. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the seared short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are partially submerged in the liquid.
Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and falling off the bone.
Carefully remove the pot from the oven. Skim off any excess fat from the surface of the sauce using a spoon.
Serve the short ribs hot, spooning the rich sauce over them. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
