Melt-in-Your-Mouth Slow Roast Asian Beef Short Rib Recipe

Learn how to make delicious Slow Roast Asian Beef Short Rib. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 to 4 pounds beef short ribs, bone-in
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce (low sodium if preferred)
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or honey as a substitute)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar (apple cider vinegar works in a pinch)
  • 1 cup beef broth or stock
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
  • 2 green onions, sliced, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 300°F. This low and slow approach is key to tender ribs that practically fall off the bone.
  2. Pat the short ribs dry with paper towels. I find this step crucial because it helps the meat brown better and develop richer flavor.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of sesame oil. When shimmering, sear the ribs on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Don’t rush this step—this is where the depth of flavor begins.
  4. While the ribs are browning, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, beef broth, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. This is the magic sauce that brings everything to life.
  5. Once the ribs are seared, transfer them to a heavy, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven. Pour the sauce mixture over the ribs, making sure they’re mostly submerged. If you’re like me and kitchen space is tight, a slow cooker works just as well—just pour everything in and set it to low.
  6. Cover tightly with a lid or foil and place in the oven. Roast for about 3 to 3 ½ hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
  7. Halfway through, check the ribs and spoon some sauce over the top. This little step keeps the meat moist and flavorful.
  8. When done, remove the ribs and let them rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, you can thicken the sauce on the stovetop if you like, simmering it gently until it coats the back of a spoon.
  9. Serve the ribs drizzled with the thickened sauce, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for that extra pop.
  10. Trust me, this is the kind of recipe that will make your kitchen smell like a cozy Asian bistro and your family ask for seconds.
