Tender, fall-off-the-bone Braised Korean Spicy and Sweet Short Ribs are sautéed then slow-cooked in a rich Korean marinade.

 Spicy and Sweet Short Ribs

These beef short ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender and flavorful with little effort on your part! Whether you make them in the oven or slow cooker the only real ‘work’ on your part is searing the meat and mixing the sauce. Then, low heat and time are all it takes. You really can’t rush short ribs.

I made an Asian inspired spicy and sweet sauce with soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper. The sauce reduces down creating a sticky glaze that coats the ribs perfectly.

I like to serve these Korean Spicy Sweet Short Ribs with rice or noodles. The sauce sticks to the rice or noodles and creates a flavor-filled bite.

 Short Ribs

WHAT ARE SHORT RIBS?

Short ribs come from the beef chuck portion of a beef animal. They are the five (5) short ribs from the chuck section that is too small to be used for good steaks. So, in short, short ribs are just that: short ribs.

There are two ways to cut short ribs. The first way is called traditional English-style. The English-style way of cutting beef short ribs has small, 1 bone chunks of delicious chuck meat. These chunks of meat are great for using to braise or make slow cooker short ribs, and look like this:

You can also cut short ribs BBQ-style or flanken-style. The bbq short ribs style cuts the ribs into strips containing 3 bones and the meat between those ribs. This is a beautiful presentation and also perfect for braising or slow cooking.

How are short ribs cut?

Short ribs come from the area between the chuck and rib, they combine characteristics of both cuts. Short ribs get the rich marbling of rib steaks with the deep beefy flavor of chuck roast. They’re an indulgent treat for anyone who loves a hearty beef meal.

HOW DO YOU COOK BRAISED KOREAN SPICY AND SWEET SHORT RIBS?

  1. Traditionally, you braise beef short ribs. You sear the meat then bake it in a liquid.
  2. As well, you can cook short ribs in a slow cooker.

I used both methods by searing the short ribs, then I cooked them in a slow cooker in a sweet and spicy sauce.

If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can braise them in the oven. You’ll need a large pot or Dutch oven with a lid. Covering them is a must so if you don’t have a large pot with a lid cover them tightly with a couple of layers of aluminum foil.

  • Cook in the oven at 350°F for 2.5 to 3 hours.
  • Remove lid and cook another 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Serve with rice or ramen noodles.
