Description

These Easy Miso Ginger Braised Short Ribs feature tender, falling-off-the-bone beef short ribs slow-braised in a flavorful miso-ginger broth. Perfectly balanced with the umami of miso, the warmth of fresh ginger, and a touch of honey’s sweetness, this dish is comforting and elegant, ideal for a cozy dinner served over creamy mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Seasonings

  • 4 lbs bone-in beef short ribs, english-cut (thick, meaty pieces)
  • Kosher salt & fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Braising Mixture

  • 2 ½ cups beef broth, warm
  • ¼ cup white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon garlic paste (or 6 garlic cloves, finely minced)
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 large shallots, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry/white wine as substitute)
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 2–3 tablespoons olive oil (for browning)

Instructions

  1. Season & rest the short ribs: Season the short ribs generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides. Let the ribs rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to ensure even cooking. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Prep miso ginger mixture: In a large bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the warm beef broth, white miso paste, grated ginger, garlic paste, and honey until the miso paste is fully dissolved. Set aside until needed.
  3. Brown the short ribs: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, swirl the oil to coat the bottom. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, sear the short ribs on all sides until a deep, rich brown crust forms, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the browned ribs to a plate and repeat until all ribs are browned, adding more oil if necessary. Reduce heat to medium after browning.
  4. Sauté the shallots: Add the finely diced shallots to the pot and sauté until tender and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Bring the flavors together: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked shallots and stir to combine. Cook the flour mixture until it lightly browns and the raw flour taste dissipates, about 1-2 minutes. Deglaze the pot by adding the Shaoxing wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Carefully pour in the reserved miso-beef broth mixture and stir until fully combined. Stir in the fish sauce and remove the pot from heat.
  6. Assemble the braise: Return the browned short ribs and any accumulated juices to the pot, making sure the ribs are nearly submerged in the liquid.
  7. Braise the short ribs: Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Let the ribs braise gently for 3 hours, until the meat is meltingly tender and falling off the bone.
  8. Adjust braising liquid: Carefully remove the pot from the oven. Using tongs, transfer the short ribs to a clean plate. Skim off any excess fat from the surface of the braising liquid. Place the pot back on the stovetop over medium-high heat and simmer the braising liquid, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10-15 minutes. Return the ribs to the pot and spoon the thickened sauce over them.
  9. Serve: Serve the miso ginger braised short ribs immediately, ideally in shallow bowls over creamy mashed potatoes with some of the braising gravy poured on top. Enjoy the rich, savory flavors and tender texture.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use thick, English-cut short ribs with plenty of meat.
  • Allowing the ribs to rest before browning improves searing and tenderness.
  • If Shaoxing wine is unavailable, dry sherry or a dry white wine are great substitutes.
  • Make sure to brown the ribs well to develop deep flavor in the braise.
  • Skimming the fat from the braising liquid before reducing ensures a glossy, less greasy sauce.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with creamy mashed potatoes or steamed rice.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stovetop.
