Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by trimming any excess fat from the bone-in beef short ribs and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the ribs for about 4–5 minutes on each side until browned.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, mirin, and brown sugar until dissolved; stir in minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes or Sriracha.
  4. In a Dutch oven, place the seared short ribs, pour the marinade over them, add the sliced onion and green onions, cover, and roast at 275–300°F for 3–4 hours.
  5. Once tender, remove ribs, pour the braising liquid into a skillet, and simmer to reduce for 10–15 minutes until glossy; add cornstarch slurry if desired.
  6. Optional: Broil the ribs on a baking sheet for 2–3 minutes to caramelize the edges.
  7. Serve the glaze over the ribs, garnished with green onions, sesame seeds, or fresh cilantro, over jasmine rice, noodles, or vegetables.
