Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs Beef short ribs
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper on all sides.
In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer the ribs to the crock pot.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic (minced), ginger (grated), and chicken broth.
Pour the sauce mixture over the short ribs in the crock pot, ensuring all ribs are coated evenly.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the ribs from the crock pot and set them aside on a plate.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the sauce in the crock pot to thicken it.
Turn the crock pot to HIGH and let the sauce cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, until it reaches the desired consistency.
Return the short ribs to the crock pot and toss them gently with the thickened sauce to coat.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve the Chinese-style short ribs hot, paired with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes.
