How to make Korean Braised Beef Short Ribs
Preparation
Soak the ribs in cold water for at least 40 minutes to remove excess blood. Change the water if necessary. Drain and rinse the ribs.
Blanch the ribs for 5 minutes to remove any impurities.
Cooking
In a bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients.
In a large pot, heat some oil and brown the ribs, then set aside.
Pour water into the pot with the ribs, add the sauce mixture, potatoes, and carrots. Stir well and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 45 minutes. Add green onions as an optional garnish and serve with steamed rice.
Tips & Tricks
For a richer flavor, marinate the ribs in the sauce mixture for a few hours before cooking.
Adjust the level of spiciness by varying the amount of gochujang.
