Ingredients
  

For the Ribs
  • 4 lbs Beef Short Ribs Look for well-marbled ribs for maximum tenderness.
  • 2 tbsp Sesame Oil Used for searing; imparts a distinct nutty flavor.
For the Sauce
  • 1 cup Miso Paste Adds savory umami flavor; white or yellow varieties preferred.
  • 1/2 cup Soy Sauce Use gluten-free soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
  • 1/4 cup Rice Vinegar Can substitute with apple cider vinegar.
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar Provides sweetness to counteract salty and savory elements.
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Ginger Use freshly grated for the best flavor.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Fresh minced garlic is recommended.
  • 2 cups Beef Broth Homemade or store-bought both work.
For Thickening
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch Optional thickening agent for the sauce.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and season the beef short ribs with salt and pepper.
  2. In a Dutch oven, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat and sear the short ribs for 4-5 minutes on each side.
  3. Whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic until smooth.
  4. Pour a splash of beef broth into the pot to deglaze and scrape up the browned bits.
  5. Return the ribs to the pot and pour the miso sauce and remaining beef broth over them.
  6. Simmer the mixture over medium heat, cover, and braise in the oven for about 3 hours.
  7. If desired, thicken the sauce by boiling it gently and adding a cornstarch slurry.
  8. Serve the ribs garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, and enjoy!
