    Equipment

    * Wide pot
    * Large pot

    Ingredients

    * 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil
    * 3½ pounds beef short ribs bone-in
    * 1 yellow onion peeled and sliced into wedges
    * 6 cloves garlic peeled and crushed
    * 6 cups low-sodium beef stock
    * 2 tablespoons sesame oil
    * 2 tablespoons tamari
    * 1 tablespoon mirin
    * 4 scallions trimmed and minced
    * 6 ounces shiitake mushrooms sliced
    * Water or stock as needed

    For Serving:

    * 16 ounces udon noodles cooked
    * Shichimi-togarashi optional
    * Soft-boiled eggs optional

    InstructionsBraise the Short Ribs:

    * Preheat oven to 350ºF. Heat the oil in a wide pot over medium-high heat. Pat the short ribs dry and season all over with salt and pepper. Add them to the pot and cook without moving for 4-5 minutes per side until well-browned all over.
    * Add the onions and garlic to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes more. Pour in the stock and bring to a boil. Turn the heat off. Cover and transfer to the oven for 2-3 hours or until the short ribs are tender.

    Boil the Short Ribs:

    * Transfer the short ribs to the stovetop and remove the lid. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and reduce heat to medium. Low-boil the short ribs for about 30 minutes or until the broth has reduced significantly. Reduce heat to low. *At this point, you can either turn off the heat and transfer to the fridge overnight or you can continue through with the recipe without refrigerating the ribs overnight.*

    Shred the Short Ribs:

    * Remove the bone and gristle from each of the ribs. Using two forks, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

    Finish the Broth:

    * Add enough water or stock to cover the shredded meat. If you’d like a more brothy udon, add more stock, but you shouldn’t need to add more than 3 cups of water or stock.
    * Bring the broth to a boil and add the sesame oil, tamari, and mirin. Stir in the minced scallions and sliced shiitake mushrooms. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

    Cook the Udon Noodles:

    * As the broth simmers a final time, cook the udon noodles. Drain, rinse, and set aside.

    To Serve:

    * Divide the udon between bowls and ladle the broth on top. Pile the shredded short ribs on top and garnish as you like. Enjoy!
