Ingredients
  

For The Marinade:

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger grated
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

For The Ribs:

  • 2 pounds beef flanken short ribs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 1 carrot chopped
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare The Marinade

  • Let’s start by making the marinade. Just mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, and black pepper until the sugar is all dissolved.

Marinate The Ribs

  • Next, take your beef flanken short ribs and coat them generously in the marinade. Pop them in a bag or a dish, cover them up, and let them chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  • If you’ve got the time, leaving them overnight works even better for the flavors to really soak in.

Sear The Ribs

  • When you’re ready to cook, heat up some vegetable oil in a big skillet or Dutch oven. Take the ribs out of the marinade (but save it for later!), and give them a good sear on all sides until they’re nice and brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Saute The Vegetables

  • Now, throw in your sliced onions and chopped carrots into the same skillet. Let them cook until they’re soft and fragrant, which should take about 5 minutes.

Braise The Ribs

  • Time to bring everything together! Put those seared ribs back into the skillet, and pour in the beef broth, rice vinegar, honey, and the marinade you saved earlier.
  • Bring it all to a gentle simmer, then turn down the heat and let it cook, covered, for 2-2½ hours. You’ll know it’s ready when the meat is tender and practically falling off the bone.
