Ingredients
- 2 pounds korean-style short ribs (beef chuck flanken), cut into 3- inch segments
- 4 cups water
- 6 tablespoons soy sauce 8 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon rice wine
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 carrots, cut into chunks
- 2 small potatoes, cut into chunks 1/2 cup fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup 1 tablespoon asian (toasted) sesame oil
- 6 chestnuts, peeled (optional) 6 dates, pitted (optional) sliced green onion
Directions
- Cover the ribs with cold water, refrigerate, and soak for 1 hour. Drain the ribs, place in a saucepan with 4 cups of water, and bring to a boil. Cook the ribs for 10 minutes, drain, and reserve 2 cups of liquid. Place the ribs and the reserved liquid in a large pot.
- Mix together the soy sauce, garlic, onion, rice wine, and brown sugar in a bowl until the sugar has dissolved. Pour the mixture over the ribs and broth. Stir to combine, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
- Mix in the carrots, potatoes, shiitake mushrooms, corn syrup, sesame oil, chestnuts, and dates, and simmer until the meat and vegetables are very tender, about 1 more hour.
- Remove the beef and vegetables to a serving dish, and reduce the liquid in the pot to make a thickened gravy. Pour the sauce over the ribs and vegetables, sprinkle with sliced green onion, and serve.
