Galbi Jjim (Korean Braised Short Ribs)
- For the short ribs:
- 2 pounds bone-in beef short ribs, cut into 3-inch pieces
- 1 dash salt
- 1 dash freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large daikon radish, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 cups light soy sauce
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup sesame oil
- 1/2 cup mirin
- 1/2 cup sake
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 Asian pear
- 1 (2-inch) piece of kombu, washed and dried
- 1 cup frozen pearl onion
- 1 long red finger chile, sliced thin on bias (for garnish)
- 1 scallion, sliced thin on bias (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- For the roasted vegetables:
- 1 bunch baby carrots, left whole
- 1/4 pound baby fingerling potatoes, left whole
- 1 dash salt
- 1 dash freshly ground black pepper
- Cut each short rib into individual bones, and season with salt and pepper. Then, in a pan set over medium-high heat, sear the ribs on all sides until they are very browned.
- Place the daikon radish on the bottom of a large, cast-iron Dutch oven, then place the seared short ribs on top (bone side down). Preheat the oven to 325u0b0 F.
- Using a blender, blend the soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, mirin, sake, garlic cloves, onion, and Asian pear together. Add the mixture to the Dutch oven, along with 2 cups of water.
- Cover the mixture, including the short ribs and daikon, with a layer of kombu and place lid on. Bring to a boil on the stove top.
- Once it comes to a boil, turn off the stove and move the pot into the oven and cook for about 3 hours, or until very tender. Discard the kombu and skim the fat. Add the pearl onions and toss until warmed through.
- To make the roasted vegetables: Crank the oven up to 400u0b0 F. Toss the carrots and potatoes in sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
- To serve, garnish the short ribs with red finger chile, scallion, and sesame seeds, and serve alongside the roasted vegetables.
