For richer flavor, marinate the short ribs in the soy sauce mixture for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) in the refrigerator before cooking. If you don't have a Dutch oven, a large, deep skillet or pot with a tight-fitting lid will work. Feel free to add other vegetables to the stew, such as sliced mushrooms, daikon radish, or potatoes. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your short ribs. Check for tenderness after 2 hours and adjust accordingly.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Ribs: Using a sharp knife, score the surface of each short rib in a diamond pattern. This helps the marinade penetrate and prevents the ribs from curling during cooking. (5 minutes)
02
StepCombine Ingredients: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, combine the scored short ribs, green onion, carrots, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil (if using), and Gochujang (if using). (5 minutes)
03
StepAdd Liquid: Pour in enough water to just cover the ribs. The water level should be about 1 inch above the meat. (2 minutes)
04
StepBring to a Boil, Then Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer gently for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the beef is incredibly tender and easily pulls away from the bone. (10 minutes)
05
StepSkim and Serve: During the last 30 minutes of cooking, skim off any excess oil or impurities that rise to the surface. This will result in a cleaner-tasting sauce. (5 minutes)
06
StepAdjust and Serve: Taste the broth and adjust seasonings as needed. Add a splash more soy sauce for saltiness, a drizzle of honey or brown sugar for sweetness, or a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat. Serve hot over steamed rice, garnished with sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions.
