Place short ribs in a large pot together with water, garlic, whole onion, ginger, and salt. Make sure that all the meat pieces are immersed in water. Add more if necessary. Bring to a boil then reduce to medium heat and cook for 30-45 minutes, skimming off the scum on top.
1 kilo beef short ribs
5 cups water
1 piece whole white onion
5 cloves garlic
2 pieces thumb-size ginger
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
Next, strain the beef stock and reserve it for our braising liquid. Discard the garlic, onion, and ginger.
Return the meat into the pot then add the ingredients for the braising liquid – beef stock, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat and cook the beef until tender, about 1 to 1.5 hours. Skim off the excess oil or you can also drag a paper towel on top so it will absorb the oil.
4 cups beef stock
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
Taste your sauce and adjust according to your liking. Add more sugar if you prefer it to be sweeter; add fish sauce or salt if you like to increase saltiness.
Add the sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, and sliced scallions. Serve hot with Korean bean sprouts, kimchi, and rice.
