Method

  1. Prepare the braising liquid by combining beef bone broth, Korean BBQ sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and minced ginger; set aside.

  2. Pat the short ribs dry, coat them with olive oil, and season generously on all sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. Heat a large greased skillet or Dutch oven over medium‑high heat and sear the short ribs on all sides until a nice crust forms.

  4. Turn off the heat and let the pan cool for a few minutes, then pour in the prepared braising liquid.

  5. Cover with a lid and place in a pre‑heated oven at 325°F for 2.5–3 hours, or until the short ribs are fall‑apart tender.

  6. Remove the short ribs, return the braising liquid to the stovetop, bring to a simmer and whisk frequently until reduced and thickened to your liking.

  7. Serve the short ribs over cooked jasmine rice, garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions, and accompany with kimchi.
