Hot-And-Spicy Short Ribs
Description
These Hot-And-Spicy Short Ribs offer a perfect balance of tender meat and intense flavor. Marinated for a full day in a mixture of soy sauce, sesame oils, ginger, and garlic, the beef absorbs deep umami notes while the spicy sesame oil adds a gentle kick. The scoring technique ensures the marinade penetrates to the bone, resulting in juicy, flavorful bites. Finished with a quick high-heat roast to caramelize the exterior, these ribs are an impressive centerpiece for dinner parties or a luxurious weekend treat. Serve alongside fluffy steamed rice to soak up the savory juices.Directions
-
Preheat oven to 300°F (149°C). Spread sesame seeds on a pie tin or small baking sheet. Roast for 12-16 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden. Remove and let cool.
-
Using a very sharp knife, score the meat on each short rib in a crisscross pattern. Make cuts about 3/8-inch apart, cutting almost to the bone to help the marinade penetrate.
-
In a bowl, combine minced garlic, minced ginger, minced scallions, soy sauce, regular sesame oil, spicy sesame oil, sugar, cider vinegar, mirin, and black pepper to create the marinade.
-
Place the scored short ribs in a large shallow baking pan or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the meat and toss well to ensure all pieces are thoroughly coated.
-
Cover the pan or seal the bag and refrigerate for 24 hours. Turn the ribs in the marinade several times during this period to ensure even flavor distribution.
-
When ready to cook, remove ribs from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
-
Arrange the ribs on a rack set inside a shallow roasting pan. Brush the ribs with a little of the remaining marinade.
-
Roast uncovered at 325°F (163°C) for 20 minutes.
-
Remove the pan from the oven. Turn the ribs over and brush them with more marinade.
-
Increase the oven temperature to 500°F (260°C). Return the ribs to the oven and roast for 5 minutes.
-
Turn the ribs again and baste lavishly with the remaining marinade. Roast for an additional 3-5 minutes for rare, or about 8 minutes for medium-rare.
-
Brush the ribs with any final remaining marinade. Serve immediately with fluffy boiled rice and a crisp salad.
