Instructions
1
Prep
Pat 900g bone-in short ribs completely dry. Season all over with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp cracked pepper. Whisk together 3 tbsp red miso, 120ml sake, 2.5 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 400ml beef stock until miso dissolves fully. Smash 3 garlic cloves and slice 15g fresh ginger.
2
Sear
Heat 1.5 tbsp oil in an ovenproof casserole over high heat until smoking. Sear short ribs 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply browned on all surfaces. Remove and set aside. Preheat oven to 160°C.
3
Build
Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and ginger to the casserole, stir 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in miso-sake braise liquid. Return short ribs bone-side down so liquid reaches two-thirds up the meat. Bring to a simmer.
4
Braise
Cover casserole tightly with a lid. Transfer to the oven and braise 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours until meat is completely tender and pulls away from bone. Remove ribs carefully and set aside.
5
Reduce
Skim excess fat from braising liquid. Simmer uncovered over medium-high heat 5 to 8 minutes until reduced and glossy. While sauce reduces, melt 30g butter in a small pan over medium heat, swirling constantly 3 to 4 minutes until deep golden and nutty-smelling.
6
Finish and plate
Place short ribs on serving plates. Spoon reduced braise sauce over the ribs. Drizzle brown butter across the top. Scatter 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced spring onions. Serve with 360 to 440g steamed jasmine rice alongside.
