Ingredients
- 2 ½ lbs short ribs
- 2 leeks chopped into chunks
- 1 yellow onion chopped into chunks
- 1 daikon chopped into chunks
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp gochujang
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- ⅓ cup mirin
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup red wine
- 2 cans beef stock 14.5 oz
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tbsp cilantro minced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
- Pat dry the short ribs and season with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Next, add 1 tablespoon of oil to a dutch oven or soup pot. Sear the short ribs on all sides. Set them aside.
- Add the leeks, onion, daikon, and garlic to the pot. Cook until soft (~5 minutes).
- Add the gochujang, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, salt, and red wine. Mix and simmer until the alcohol has burned off. You can check if the alcohol’s burned off by smelling it. If there is no alcohol smell, you’re good.
- Add beef stock and bay leaves and bring to a boil. Nestle in the short ribs from step 3. Make sure the short ribs are fully submerged in the liquid.
- Bake in the oven for 3 - 3.5 hours until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.
- Garnish with cilantro and serve.
Notes
- Make sure to sear the beef on all sides - Searing the beef locks in the flavor of the short ribs and gives them a nice color on the outside.
- Don't cut vegetables into pieces that are too small - The vegetables will be braising with the short ribs for ~3 hours which means they will drastically reduce in size. If the vegetables are too small, they will liquify/disappear into the broth.
- What can I pair this dish with? - I like to eat these short ribs with mashed potatoes (pictured), rice, or pasta.
