Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Beef short ribs
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 4 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp Ginger
- 3 chopped Green onions
- 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
Instructions
Prepare the short ribs by trimming any excess fat and patting them dry with paper towels.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions (reserve some for garnish), and red pepper flakes.
Pour the marinade over the short ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated. If time allows, let them marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to enhance flavor.
Add the marinated ribs and the marinade into the crock pot. Pour in the water to ensure there is enough liquid for slow cooking.
Set the crock pot to low and cook for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
Once done, carefully remove the short ribs from the crock pot and set them on a serving platter.
Optional: Skim off excess fat from the cooking liquid and reduce the liquid on the stovetop to make a thicker sauce.
Serve the short ribs with the sauce drizzled on top and garnish with sesame seeds and reserved green onions.
Pair with steamed white rice and sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
