Korean-Style Short Ribs

I realized recently that I start a lot of my recipes here with “this is one of my favorite meals to make,” but it’s true! I love cooking and baking in general, but I love it even more when it’s something I enjoy putting together.
This is another one of those favorite meals: Korean-style short ribs. One of the reasons I like it so much is because the majority of it’s done in the crockpot, so a lot of the hard work is done for me and the house smells wonderful all day — how can you beat that? I like to serve it over white rice and garnish wish toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onion.
Korean-Style Short Ribs
1/2 c soy sauce
1/2 c packed light brown sugar (you can scale it down to 1/3 c)
2 Tb sesame oil
2 Tb rice vinegar
2 Tb minced fresh ginger
4 cloves of crushed garlic
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
5 lbs beef short ribs
3 Tb cornstarch
3 Tb cold water
Mix soy sauce, sugar, oil, vinegar, ginger, garlic and red pepper in a small bowl. Place ribs in a 5-quarter slow cooker and pour sauce over. Cover and cook on high for 6 hours or on low for 9 hours.
Transfer ribs to a platter, and skim and discard excess fat from liquid. Place liquid in a saucepan, combine cornstarch and water and add to liquid. Bring to a boil and cook for two minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove meat from ribs, place over rice and top with sauce, green onions and sesame seeds.
I can’t wait to try this out! I love slow cooker recipes.
I’m always on the lookout for FLAVORFUL crock pot meals. I find many to be too bland.
Can’t wait to try this.
Those ribs look tasty!
I love korean food, but i don’t think i could wait 6 hours to eat, lol. If I was to try this recipes I would find a way to cut the time way down. I am assuming broiling would be faster, am i right?
I made these today for my friends and family and it was a HUGE hit. I’m definitely not someone who can cook, but this was easy and delicious.
I “stumbleupon” your recipe. This looks amazing and I can’t wait to try this.
Absolutely delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Rachel! You’re very welcome!
This is an awesome recipe!! I just made it today and couldn’t stop eating it. It is so yummy!! Thank you
I made these yesterday and they were delicious. I browned the meat first and the finished product was deep, tantalizing brown. I also added some Chinese cabbage the last two hours. This is going to be a new favorite! Thanks for sharing!
One of my favorite foods,
I usually put fruits – pears, oranges, apples and kiwis – instead of sugar,,,which make ribs tender and juciy.
