Ingredients

  • A generous amount of beef short ribs, roughly 2 pounds or more to suit your preference,
  • A single onion, sliced into quarters for added flavor,
  • A fresh slice of ginger measuring about 1 inch in size,
  • A couple of garlic cloves to enhance the taste,
  • A sprinkle of soy sauce, approximately 5 tablespoons to season,
  • A touch of sweetness with around ¼ cup of brown sugar,
  • A hint of spice with 2 tablespoons of Korean red pepper flakes, also known as gochugaru,
  • Minced garlic, about 4 cloves for depth of flavor,
  • A splash of rice vinegar, just a tablespoon for balance,
  • A drizzle of sesame oil, around 1 tablespoon to enrich the dish,
  • Two peeled potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces for a hearty addition,
  • Two peeled carrots, also cut into 2-inch pieces for a colorful mix,
  • A handful of Japanese beech mushrooms, approximately ½ cup for a unique touch,
  • A handful of chestnuts, preferably 7 or more for a nutty flavor,
  • Several dried Korean dates, about 7 pieces to enhance the sweetness,
  • A dollop of corn syrup, roughly 1 tablespoon of mulyeot for a glossy finish,
  • Two sliced green onions to garnish the dish beautifully.

Step 1

Begin by submerging beef short ribs in a spacious bowl filled with cold water for approximately 30 minutes to eliminate any remaining blood traces.

Step 2

Next, in a sizable pot, combine the soaked short ribs with onion, ginger, and two cloves of garlic. Fill the pot with water and bring it to a vigorous boil, ensuring to skim off any foam that rises to the surface. Allow the mixture to simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. During this time, carefully extract 2 cups of broth and set it aside. Once done, drain the short ribs and rinse them under cold water, discarding the onion, ginger, and garlic. Let them cool until they are easy to handle.

Step 3

Proceed by making small incisions in each short rib to trim off any excess fat. Return the ribs to the pot and pour in the reserved broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, four minced garlic cloves, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Let the ingredients meld together over low heat for about 45 minutes. Then, introduce potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, chestnuts, and dates, and continue simmering until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened, approximately 10 minutes.

Step 4

To enhance the flavor profile, mix in corn syrup and allow the sauce to simmer until it reaches a slightly syrupy texture, around 5 minutes. Finally, garnish the dish with slices of green onions before serving.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Utilize Mason Jars : Store leftover marinade in mason jars for easy access next time you make the dish.
  2. 2. Freeze in Portions : Divide the braised beef ribs into individual portions and freeze them for quick and easy meals on busy days.
