Asian Braised Short Ribs

Beef short ribs are tough cuts of meat that become meltingly tender when braised. Because the ribs are cooked on the bone, they lend a wonderful depth to this dish. These slow-cooked short ribs are seasoned with Chinese five-spice powder, an aromatic blend of Szechuan peppercorns, cinnamon, star anise, fennel and cloves.

Ingredients:
  • 4 lb. bone-in beef short ribs
  • 2 tsp. five-spice powder
  • 2 to 3 Tbs. olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, cut into 1⁄4-inch slices
  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1⁄3 cup plum wine
  • 1⁄3 cup soy sauce
  • 1⁄3 cup rice vinegar
  • 1⁄4 cup sesame oil
  • 1 Tbs. chili garlic paste
  • 2 Tbs. grated fresh ginger
  • Zest of 1 orange, peeled with vegetable peeler into 1⁄2-inch strips, plus juice of 1 orange
  • 1⁄4 cup sugar dissolved in 3⁄4 cup boiling water
  • Steamed rice for serving
Directions:
Season the short ribs with the five-spice powder and shake off the excess.

In a heavy sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 Tbs. of the olive oil. Working in batches, brown the ribs on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes total, adding more oil to the pan if needed. Transfer to a slow cooker.

Add more olive oil to the pan if needed. Reduce the heat to medium, add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the wine, stirring to scrape up the browned bits. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook until the wine is reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker along with the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, chili paste, ginger, orange zest, orange juice and sugar mixture. Cover and cook on high for 6 hours according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Spoon the fat off the sauce. Transfer the ribs and sauce to a serving bowl and serve immediately with steamed rice.

Serves 6.
