Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 lbs beef short ribs
- 1/2 cup honey
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 whole star anise
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and star anise until well combined.
- Marinate the Ribs: Place beef short ribs in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over them and ensure they are well coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least two hours (overnight is best).
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Sear the Ribs: Heat a splash of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove ribs from marinade (reserve liquid) and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
- Bake the Ribs: Transfer seared ribs to a baking dish or Dutch oven. Pour reserved marinade over them and cover tightly with foil. Bake for about three hours until fork-tender.
- Serve: Once done baking, let the ribs rest for ten minutes before serving on plates drizzled with leftover sauce from the pan.
