Serves: 3 to 4

Ingredients:

• 3 lb. Korean style cut beef short ribs (LA Galbi style), cut with the bones, trimmed big chunk fat
• ½ cup Soy sauce
• ¼ cup Red wine
• ¼ cup Honey
• ½ tsp. Black pepper
• ¼ cup Chopped garlic
• 1 Large red onion sliced into ½” thick
• 1 Tbs. Cooking oil

For Garnish (Optional)

• Sesame seeds
• Sesame oil
• Korean red pepper thread

 Step One

 In a large bowl, add beef short ribs; pour enough cold water to cover ribs. Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit for at least 1 hour to overnight in a refrigerator. Drain, rinse under running water and get rid of small bone bits. Drain completely and set aside.

Step Two

 Combine soy sauce and next 4 ingredients in a bowl and stir until honey dissolved.

Step Three

 Heat a Dutch oven or a braising pot over high heat; add oil and place one layer of prepared ribs. Be careful not to crowed pot, cook 3 to 4 batches. Sear 2 to 3 minutes each side and set aside. Repeat until all ribs are seared. Tab excess oil with paper towels as you go. After last batch, turn off heat; you will see lots of oil left in pot. Remove oil completely by tapping with paper towels.

Step Four

 Place seared ribs back into pot along with sauce we made earlier and sliced red onion. Turn on stove to medium heat; stir ribs, sauce and onion all together to mix well and scrape bottom of pot with an wooden spoon.

Step Five

 Cover, simmer for 25 minutes and then reduce heat to low simmer for additional 20 minutes. Stir occasionally so they will cook evenly.

Step Six 

 Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle sesame seeds, drizzle some sesame oil to taste and garnish with Korean red pepper thread.

Optional I have served it as a lettuce wrap, with rice, kimchi and other bits.
