No-Water Beef Short Rib Braise with Pear Drink (6.5kg)

How to make it

1. 1

   Soak the beef short ribs in cold water for 2 hours to draw out the blood, changing the water once partway through.

2. 2

   Blanch them in boiling water for 10 minutes, then wash them and trim off the fat and any unwanted membrane.

3. 3

   Mix all the seasoning ingredients together.

4. 4

   Put the ribs and the seasoning in a large pot, bring it to a boil, then turn the heat low, cover it, and braise for 50 minutes. No extra water goes in.

5. 5

   Add the carrot, onion, mushrooms, and garlic and braise 30 to 40 minutes more.

6. 6

   When the ribs are tender, add the green onion and chili pepper, take the lid off, and reduce the sauce until it shines.

7. 7

   There is already enough sesame oil aroma, so do not add more; if the seasoning is too strong, top it up with a little pear drink.

You can fix this

If it hasn't burned or stuck to the pan, it can still be fixed.

• Too salty? Do not add water — it thins the sauce. Add more radish, potato, or onion instead and let them take up the salt.
