* ▢1 kg Beef Short Ribs * ▢1 tablespoon Oil * ▢1 Star Anise * ▢1 Cinnamon stick (Small ones) * ▢5 Bay leaves * ▢1 tablespoon Soy Sauce * ▢1 teaspoon Dark Soy Sauce * ▢1/4 cup rice wine * ▢1/2 Granny Smith Apple (More or less to your liking)
# Instructions
# Prepare the Beef and Sauce
* Blend half an apple with ½ cup of water, then mix in soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and rice wine. * Heat some oil in a saucepan over medium heat and add the beef spare ribs. Pan-fry until all sides are lightly browned. * Add the star anise and cinnamon stick to the oil, and fry for about one minute to bring out their aroma.
# Slow Cook
* Pour the sauce over the beef, add the bay leaves, and then add water to the ribs, leaving it 1–2 cm below the meat. * Bring it to a boil, then turn the heat down to low. Cover with a lid and slow cook for about 2 hours, until the beef is tender and full of flavour.
# Reduce the Sauce
* Turn up the heat and remove the lid. Let it cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces into a rich, thick, gravy-like sauce.

I could probably trade a pound of short ribs for rent here in NYC.
So. 😂

I hope you save those bones and make a stock from them.

Beautiful pics and thanks for the recipe, been checking out Asian style.
3 ribs on sale were $13 where I live. One pack had 3 ribs small, med and big in size. I ate a rib a day, I wouldn’t call it budget because I couldn’t just devour it like I preferred.

The ribs are so expensive that I started buying shanks, now those are too expensive. Beef anything is pretty much off the menu for me

10 years ago this used to be a really good cheap meal because no one wanted short ribs. I haven’t had them in forever & I don’t know why the price tripled.

Beef short ribs are extremely expensive and I don’t know why. They are poor people food because they are so tough and require a lot of cooking. Things changed several years ago because they used to be cheap.

Beef is so expensive in central Missouri I haven’t bought it in years. I treated myself to a steak dinner out and still paid less than what just the steak cost.
