Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and five-spice powder. Whisk until well combined.
- Place the beef short ribs in a baking dish and pour the marinade over the ribs. Ensure each rib is generously coated.
- Cover the dish with foil and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight.
- Pour the beef broth into the dish and cover it again.
Cooking

- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
Letting the meat marinate overnight enhances flavor absorption. Covering during roasting retains moisture for tender ribs. For a flavor boost, consider adding hoisin sauce to the marinade. Serve with steamed rice or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
