INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preparing the Ribs:

  • Begin by thoroughly rinsing the beef ribs in cold water to remove any bone fragments.
  • Soak the ribs in cold water for about an hour to draw out excess blood, changing the water every 20 minutes.

2. Making the Marinade:

  • In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, water, sugar, grated pear, grated onion, minced garlic, sesame oil, and rice syrup. Stir well to ensure the sugar is completely dissolved.

3. Cooking the Ribs:

  • Place the soaked ribs in a pot and add enough water to cover the ribs. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
  • Drain the ribs, rinse them under cold water, and clean the pot.
  • Return the cleaned ribs to the pot, pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
  • Add sliced carrots and bring everything to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer, covered, for about 1 to 1.5 hours.

4. Finishing Touches:

  • Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Add chopped green onions to the pot and gently stir.
  • Let it simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with steamed rice and your choice of sides.
