Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Pat the beef short ribs dry and season them with kosher salt and black pepper.
  3. In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat and sear the ribs until golden-brown on all sides.
  4. Reduce the heat, add garlic and ginger, then pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and sesame oil.
  5. Return seared ribs to the pot, cover, and braise in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until fork-tender.
  6. Remove the ribs, skim excess fat, then boil the sauce and stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken.
