Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Beef short ribs
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Ginger, freshly grated
- 3 Scallions, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Cold water (for slurry)
- 2 tsp Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, scallions, red pepper flakes, and water. Mix thoroughly to create the sauce.
Place the beef short ribs in the crock pot in a single layer.
Pour the prepared sauce over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the ribs are tender and falling off the bone.
Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the ribs from the crock pot and transfer them to a serving platter. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
Strain the cooking liquid from the crock pot into a saucepan. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the simmering sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until thickened.
Drizzle the thickened sauce over the ribs. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and optional chopped cilantro for garnish.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
