ingredients

2 lb boneless short ribs, trimmed of excess fat and silverskin, cut into 2-inch pieces
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 medium-sized carrot, peeled, cut into large chunks
1 medium onion, peeled, quartered
1 rib celery, cut into chunks
4 cloves garlic, peeled, crushed
2 qt beef or chicken stock or enough to cover ribs
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
2-inch piece ginger, washed, cut in half lengthwise
3 green onions, trimmed, chopped

1
Season short ribs with salt and pepper. In a large pot, brown the meat in vegetable oil until dark caramel in color. This may need to be done in batches.
2
After the meat has all been seared, pour off excess oil leaving about 2 tbsp. Use the oil to brown the carrot, onion, celery and garlic. Cook for about 10 mins, stirring until caramelized.
3
Add the meat to the vegetables in the pot. Add the stock and the rest of the ingredients. Cover the pot with foil and cook in a 350 degree oven for about 2-2 1/2 hrs until the meat is tender.
4
Remove the meat. Discard the vegetables. Reduce the braising liquid until it becomes syrupy. Add the meat back into the sauce and coat it.
