Instructions

Step 1: In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 5 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 2 cups water, and 1 tsp black pepper. Stir to mix.
Step 2: Add 3 lbs beef short ribs (cut into 3-inch pieces) to the pot, ensuring ribs are submerged in the liquid.
Step 3: Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover partially, and simmer gently for 2.5 to 3 hours until ribs are tender and sauce thickens.
Step 4: Remove ribs from the pot and transfer to a serving dish. Increase heat to medium-high and reduce the braising liquid for 10 minutes until glaze coats the back of a spoon.
Step 5: Pour glaze over ribs, garnish with 3 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, and serve hot.
