Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef short ribs, bone-in
- ¼ cup beef broth
- 1⁄3 cup soy sauce
- 1⁄3 cup coconut sugar
- 1⁄3 cup rice wine
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon gochujang
- 1 medium onion, quartered
- 8 cloves garlic
- 1 small Asian pear, peeled, cored and julienne sliced
- 1 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and quartered
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt and coarse-ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
- Grilled scallions, kimchi, cooked brown rice, shredded carrots
Preparation
In a medium bowl, combine beef broth, soy sauce, coconut sugar, rice wine, sesame oil and gochujang. Set aside.
In the bowl of a food processor or blender, place onion, garlic, pear and ginger. Process on high to a smooth purée. Add soy mixture, pulsing until combined. Place mixture in a slow cooker. Set slow cooker on high to preheat.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Season short ribs with kosher salt and coarse-ground black pepper. Place short ribs in pan, brown well on each side, approximately 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer ribs, meat side down, into slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 4–6 hours or on low 6–8 hours or until fork tender.
In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with 4 tablespoons of the cooking liquid. Whisk until smooth. Pour cornstarch mixture into slow cooker, stir to blend and cook uncovered on high for 20 minutes. Turn slow cooker off and let stand 10 minutes. Sauce will thicken as it sets. Transfer ribs to a platter, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top. Reserve cooking liquid to serve with ribs. Serve with grilled scallions, kimchi, cooked brown rice and shredded carrots.
