Caramelized Slow Roast Asian Beef (Print-Friendly Format)

Tender beef short ribs, slowly roasted with Asian aromatics for rich caramelized flavor and fork-tender texture.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Beef and Marinade

01 - 1.8 kg beef short ribs
02 - 240 ml soy sauce
03 - 110 g brown sugar
04 - 60 ml rice vinegar
05 - 60 ml hoisin sauce
06 - 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
07 - 1 tablespoon minced garlic
08 - 2 tablespoons sesame oil
09 - 1 tablespoon chili paste (optional)
10 - 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Garnish

11 - 2 green onions, finely chopped
12 - Sesame seeds

# How to Make It:

01 - Rinse beef short ribs thoroughly under cold running water and pat completely dry with absorbent kitchen paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, chili paste if using, and black pepper until the sugar fully dissolves.
03 - Submerge short ribs in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours or preferably overnight for optimal flavor penetration.
04 - Preheat oven to 160°C.
05 - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear marinated short ribs on all sides until dark golden brown, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side.
06 - Place seared short ribs into a deep roasting pan and pour remaining marinade evenly over them.
07 - Seal pan tightly with aluminum foil and roast in preheated oven for 3 to 4 hours, or until beef yields easily to the touch of a fork.
08 - During the final 30 minutes of roasting, remove foil to allow top of beef to caramelize to a deep mahogany glaze.
09 - Test tenderness; meat should separate effortlessly. If needed, return to oven and continue roasting until desired texture is achieved.
10 - Remove short ribs from oven and let rest at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice and present garnished with fresh chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For richer flavor and maximum tenderness, allow the beef to marinate overnight and ensure a slow, consistent oven temperature during roasting.
