Hi, I am going to make braised beef short ribs today again
It takes 1 hour and 10 mins. to make this
it is very simple and very delicious
finally i came up with this recipe
first, submerge ribs in cold water to remove blood
we are not going to blanch ribs today
place ribs on a cold pan
i have 1.2kg of short ribs today
if you have more ribs, stack them
now pour some water
there is no measurement for water
just pour water to submerge all ribs
but don't pour too much of water
while the water is boiling, cut some vegetables
cut the green onion into large pieces
1 green onion is needed for 1kg of ribs
then, i have 8 cloves of garlic in a plastic bag
just crush them roughly with the back of a knife
don't use a whole garlic
a whole garlic is like no garlic in a stew
as allicin in garlic is only generated when crushed
then cut an onion into large pieces as well
now the water is boiling and brown impurities are coming onto the surface
remove those impurities thoroughly
people usually blanch ribs before braising them
if you remember, i make short-rib soup without blanching them
i am not going to blanch ribs today for stew
i think blanching doesn't do much to remove blood or impurities
of course, i blanch meat more often that not
that is to cook the surface before steaming
as the meat with cooked surface loses less juices than uncooked meat
blood impurites in ribs keep coming up until they are fully cooked
if you keep blanching the ribs until there are no impurities any more
ribs will lose juices and the meat will become tough
so don't blanch ribs
instead, submerge ribs in cold water and start boiling them
when the water starts boiling, remove impurities
then, take water out of the pot until ribs are half-submerged
don't throw away the water this time
this water is clean
the water is not a thick broth yet but it is worth something
now add all the vegetables to the pot
add 1/2 tsp of ground pepper
thinly sliced pear (1/3)
then, boil them together
do not add soy sauce or sugar or alchol at this point
only aromatic vegetables and a tenderizer (pear)
now cook this for 20 mins. on a low heat
ribs are particularly flavorful and juicy
they are belly meat on a bone
it is no problem when you roast the meat only
but it involves a lot of work when we cook them in water
the meat tends to get tough...
start with cold water and keep the pot on a low heat all the time
bones usually have smelly friends around them
we need aromatic vegetables to remove any bad smell or taste
therefore we are able to maximaze the taste of meat
if you add salt, sugar and acidity at this point, all bad smell and taste will be locked inside
so, we are not going to add those until the meat is almost cooked
keep the lid slighly open now
after 10 mins. there are still impurities on the surface
remove them
impurities will continue to come up until the ribs are cooked
so keep an eye on it for the first 20 mins.
what is inside the bowl is those impurities
throw these away right now
this is the broth i took out of the pot
it is about 1 cup
reserve this
after 20 mins., the meat seems almost cooked
vegetables added a lot of water to the pot
remove some of the broth
this is a tasty broth...so keep it
now i have broth of 400ml (240ml was reserved earlier)
i am going to make jjigae next time with this broth
it looks like a lot of water in the pot?
in fact, it is not a lot of water
we will have a perfect end result with this amount of water
i reserved all the excess broth in a cup
now add 100ml of soy sauce
2 Tbsp of mirin
this is 2 Tbsp of green plum syrup
then 2Tbsp of sugar
mirin, green plum syrup and sugar 2Tbsp each
1Tbsp = 1.5 x Korean spoon
if you use a Korean rice spoon, add 3 spoonfuls or 2 heaping spoonfuls
cook this with the lid on for 40 mins. on a low heat
after 40 mins, check out ribs
bones are just coming off from the meat
it is a great signal that ribs are cooked well
now stop stirring as it looks better with a bone on
now add vegetables of your choice
i added shitake mushrooms and some carrots
then put the lid back on and cook for 10 mins. on a high heat
many people add chestnuts to braised ribs
but beef and chestnuts are not very compatible nutrition-wise
i also added some asparagus for color's sake
it looks good for color but doesn't work for taste
it is done now...it looks horrible? yes...
but don't worry
pick ribs and vegetables out of melted onions
now it is time to eat
the meat is very tender
i wasn't sure whether the meat would be tender enough after only 1 hour of braising
but those meat looked so tender with my naked eyes...so i stopped there
the meat is very tender
the meat is incredibly tasty
those flavors of ribs successfully came through
aromatic vegetables killed anything smelly
as we added salt, sugar and acidity after removing bad smell,
we were able to maximize the flavors of meat
the meat is fully infused with sweet, savory sauce
it is a huge upgrade to the taste of meat
this is the best-tasting beef short ribs 'with bones' i have ever eaten
actually, i planned to make this after steaming ribs the way i did in the previous video
but even i didn't want to as it is so much work
so i was like "i don't know...just give it a try"
but it is a huge success
after picking all ribs and vegetables, sift the rest
look at the soup at the bottom...
it is not too much of soup
the pear is shapelessl now
now it looks neat
thank you for watching
