Sesame Ginger Shortribs

Sesame Ginger Shortribs

Marinate 4 lean beef short ribs in a mixture of:

1/2 cup soy sauce
2 T toasted sesame seeds
1 T sesame oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup of Chinese cooking wine
1/4 cup brown sugar or 2 T honey
2 t ground ginger, or one 1 inch piece of fresh ginger, minced
1/2 t "rooster sauce" (Sriracha Chili Sauce)

Marinate in the fridge for 2 - 4 hours, turning once or twice.

Bake in a dutch oven with the lid on for 2 - 3 hours in a 300F oven. (until the meat is tender and falling away from the bone)

Remove the ribs, and skim the fat off the liquid.
Transfer the sauce to a small pot and reduce to sauce consistency. Adjust seasoning as required.

Serve with steamed mashed sweet potatoes and steamed bok choy.
Drizzle a little of the sauce over the ribs and the bok choy.
