Ingredients
  

For the Ribs
  • 3 lbs Beef Short Ribs Consider using chuck short ribs for similar flavor.
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil Substitute with vegetable oil for a milder taste.
For the Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Miso Paste Opt for white or yellow miso for a gentler taste.
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Low-sodium soy sauce is a good alternative.
  • 2 tbsp Rice Vinegar Apple cider vinegar can be used if necessary.
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar Swap with honey or maple syrup if desired.
  • 2 tbsp Freshly Grated Ginger Minced ginger works as a substitute.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Garlic powder can be used in smaller amounts.
  • 2 cups Beef Broth Chicken broth may alter the taste.
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch Mix with water before adding to thicken.
Garnish
  • 2 tbsp Green Onions Adds freshness.
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds Enhance presentation and provide crunch.

Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Heat a tablespoon of sesame oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season short ribs with salt and pepper, sear for 4-5 minutes on each side then set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour in a splash of beef broth into the pot, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for a minute.
  5. Return seared short ribs to the pot, pour the miso sauce over them, adding remaining beef broth until ribs are submerged.
  6. Cover and braise in the oven for about 3 hours until tender. Check for doneness; meat should fall away from the bone.
  7. Optionally, thicken the sauce by removing ribs and boiling the sauce; mix cornstarch with water and stir into sauce until thickened.
  8. Return ribs to the pot, let them soak in the thickened sauce before serving garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.
