Bulgogi-style Braised Short Ribs with Baby Bok Choy
Short Ribs are all the rage - amazing flavour and so tender. This Korean-inspired dish is way easier than making a stir-fry. Braising is one of the simplest ways to make a truly impressive meal. You can substitute Shank, Blade or Cross Rib for Short Ribs if you like - cuts from the Simmering Steak, Stew or Pot Roast categories.
Trim fat from meat. Season all over with salt and freshly ground pepper. Heat 2 tbsp oil over medium-high heat in Dutch oven or large heavy pot; add beef and brown all over.
Combine garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, gingerroot, onion, vinegar and water in 4 cup bowl. Pour over beef; bring to a boil. Cover and transfer to 325°F (160°C) oven; cook for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, until meat is fork-tender.
Bok Choy: Heat remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil in large skillet over medium-high heat; add bok choy and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, flipping occasionally. Add HALF of the cooking sauce and stir in HALF of the cornstarch mixture; cover and cook until simmering and sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Garnish with sesame seeds or cashews.
To serve, remove beef to platter; keep warm. Stir in remaining cornstarch mixture into remaining cooking sauce; heat over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbling and thickened slightly; spoon over beef. Portion beef and bok choy onto plates, along with steamed rice or noodles if desired.

Fabulous !!!!!!!!!!! I’ll make that more than once !!!
Why look at it when you can make and taste it? With cooler weather starting to settle in, it’s a great time for short ribs!
Delicious!
This looks so delicious!
I love this recipe for a simple meal that’s anything but ho-hum. Slightly exotic but not weird. Serve with some sambal oelek or sriracha sauce if you like some spice.
