Korean Braised Short Ribs
These Korean braised short ribs are the perfect comforting bowl of tender braised meat and vegetables. The braising liquid is spiked with the Korean fermented chili paste, Gochujang, along with soy sauce, palm sugar, wine, and stock. The meat is braised for 3 ½ hours until the meat is so tender it falls off the bone, and the braising liquid becomes a beautifully thick and fragrant ragù.

Short Ribs
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
Season the short ribs with salt on both sides.
Heat a cast-iron Dutch oven over moderate heat and coat with coconut oil.
Allow for the oil to glisten, and then place the short ribs in the pot. Cook for 3-4 minutes until a golden-brown crust is achieved.
Flip the short ribs and continue to cook until both sides are golden brown.
Remove the short ribs from the pot and reserve.
Add the sesame oil to the pot and allow for it to glisten. Add the garlic, ginger, carrots, celery, and onion. Season with salt and cook until the onion is translucent, and the vegetables are tender around 3-4 minutes.
Add the scallions, apple, palm sugar, and Gochujang and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sugar and Gochujang to caramelize.
Add the soy sauce, wine, and stock and cover the pot, and place in the oven.
Cook for 3 ½ hours until the meat is tender, and the braising liquid has reduced by half and turned into a thick ragù. Season to taste with salt. Serve with some cilantro sprigs.
