Incredibly juicy beef that has a little spicy kick. Slow cook over a few hours or pressure cook in less than 40 mins for meat that falls off the bone and warms your heart!

Ingredients
2kg beef short ribs
4 large red chillies, sliced
6 garlic cloves, minced
5cm (2inch) piece ginger, grated
3 tbsp soy sauce
½ cup brown sugar
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp sea salt
½ cup white vinegar
¼ cup water
coconut or plain rice
spring onion (scallions), chopped
coriander (cilantro), chopped
To Serve
Directions
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. You can process them but, I prefer the chunkiness.
Season each piece of beef generously with salt. Let sit for 10-30 minutes (the longer the better to allow season to penetrate).
Add a little oil to a large frying pan and sear beef in batches for 1-2 minutes each side or until caramelised and evenly browned. Transfer beef pieces to the bowl of a slow cooker as they are finished browning. (I use my pressure cooker/ can also be a slow cooker or all be cooked in one pan in oven).
Once all the beef pieces are browned, pour the marinade into the hot pan to deglaze. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up all the flavour and bits and pieces from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for about a minute then pour over ribs in the slow or pressure cooker. (See cooking times below).
Preheat oven/grill to high (200°C/400°F). Gently remove the ribs and transfer to a baking tray. Pour the braising liquid into a pan and simmer over high heat for 10 minutes or until thickened slightly.
Brush the ribs with the reduced braising sauce. Place under the grill/broiler for 5-10 minutes until sticky and charred at the edges.
Sprinkle with spring onions and serve on its own or with fluffy coconut rice.
Recipe Note
Slow cooker 5-6 hrs then finish on the stove or grill.
Pressure cooker: High for 30-35 mins then finish on the stove or grill.
Oven: 160°C/320°F for 4-6hours (keep covered with aluminium foil or lid for most of that time to prevent liquid evaporating).
Made these ribs using the slow cooker method. Recipe was super easy to follow and the flavours were on point! Sweet and sticky with the perfect amount of spice! The meat was falling off the bone and super juicy! Will def be making again!
