Korean Short Ribs



Serves 6
Prep time: 30 mins / Total Time: 3 hours

Ingredients

4 lbs Short Ribs
3 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Agave
3 tsp Chile Paste or sauce
3 tbsp Sesame Oil
1/4 cup Rice Wine Vinegar
2 tbsp Rice Flour
2 small Yellow Onions (diced)
1/2 cup Ginger (minced)
6 cloves Garlic (smashed & chopped)
2 bunches Scallions (sliced)
3 cups Water

Directions

Step 1: Brown Short Ribs
Brown your short ribs on all four sides in a dutch oven or large pot so they have a beautiful crust.

Step 2: Make Sauce
Start with some low-sodium soy sauce, adding agave, chile paste, sesame oil and rice wine vinegar.

Step 3: Sauté Aromatics
Remove the short ribs from the dutch oven. Add a little bit of extra olive oil to the rendered fat in the pot and sauté diced yellow onions, minced ginger, two garlic chopped cloves and scallions, stir.

Step 4: Deglaze
Incorporate two tablespoons of rice flour. Add sauce to deglaze the pan. Turn the heat down a little bit.

Step 5: Cook Slow and Low
Add short ribs back in the sauce without overcrowding. Put the meat side down. Top with three cups of water. Cover and place in the oven at 325 degrees for 2-2.5 hours.

Step 6: Pack and Go
Pack up the short ribs with some of the sauce. Sam suggests eating them with lettuce cups, kimchi and/or rice vermicelli, which you can pack to go, too.

Israeli Couscous

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 cup almond milk
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large fennel bulb (about 1 pound), stalks discarded, cored, and thinly sliced
1 yellow or Vidalia onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
½ cup pine nuts
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup Israeli couscous
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Juice of 2 lemons

Directions

In a medium saucepan, bring the almond milk and broth to a simmer over medium heat on a back burner.

Meanwhile, on a front burner, heat the oil in another medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the fennel, onion, garlic, pine nuts, and coconut. Cook about 2 minutes, then add the couscous and cook, stirring vigorously, until toasted and golden brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and transfer the couscous mixture to a large bowl.

Pour the hot almond milk-broth mixture over the couscous in the bowl. Stir in the scallions and fluff the couscous with a fork. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let the couscous steam until all of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle the couscous with the lemon juice. If the couscous turns out too al dente for your taste, return it to the saucepan, add ½ cup water, and cook on medium-high heat until it reaches the desired texture.
