Ingredients

For the ribs:

3 pounds beef short ribs, about 10 ribs
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 to 12 garlic cloves smashed
1-inch piece ginger, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch slices
12 ounces good ale (recommended: Bass)
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 cup hoisin sauce
Creamy Mashed Yukons, recipe follows
Sesame Snow Peas, recipe follows

Directions

Season the ribs generously with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy pot with a lid (Dutch oven) over high heat. Brown the ribs on all sides, in batches if necessary. Remove the ribs and pour off all but a couple tablespoons of the rendered fat.

Return the pot to the stove, lower the heat to medium and saute the garlic and ginger for about 3 minutes. Add the ribs back to the pot. Add the beer and the vinegar. Stir and then cover and simmer for 2 1/2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

Pour the hoisin sauce over the ribs, move the pot to the oven, and cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

Remove ribs and ginger from sauce. Strain fat from the top of the pot so that you're left with just the good stuff. Serve with Creamy Mashed Yukons and Sesame Snow Peas.

Creamy Mashed Yukons:

3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled

1/2 stick butter, melted

1 cup half-and-half

Salt and pepper

1 bunch chives, chopped

Boil potatoes until fork tender. Heat the butter and half-and-half over medium heat until hot, but not boiling. Drain the potatoes, return them to the pot and mash with a hand masher. Add hot liquid to potatoes and whip with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add chives and mix before serving.

Sesame Snow Peas:

1 pound snow peas

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 tablespoon dark sesame oil

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Salt and pepper

Rinse the peas and trim off the ends. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the oils and heat. Add snow peas and saute until bright green, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and toss.

Sounds Asian, but isn't
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've never used hoisin sauce in a non-Asian recipe before - this was amazing, and I don't use that word often. Twice I've... made it, and I love it more than I did the first time. I brought ingredients to work and put it together to cook (I have access to a kitchen) and finish it off with the potatoes when I get home for a quick mid-week supper. The smell is torture for everyone at work, it smells sooo good. I've been wanting to work with short ribs and this was my first recipe attempt. Short ribs is my new favorite cut of meat! That strained sauce is so deep and rich and luscious! Men will love it and it's great for a dinner party. Simple comfort food amped up! Don't delay, make it TONIGHT!! I want Dave Lieberman back on TV! Read more

AMAZING
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'd consider myself a "new cook" or a "beginer" who tries to cook. This dish was easy and DELICIOUS! I added some honey to... the beer before letting the ribs simmer, once they were done they were falling off the bone. I didn't make the sides to go along with the ribs, instead I chose to make twice baked potatoes stuffed with brocolli and cheese. The combonation was great The ribs were AMAZING!Read more

Awesome Ribs Dave
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I never made or have eaten short ribs before. I'm now hooked and glad I picked this recipe to make. This is an easy recipe,... not intermediate like it says. I tell you what, Bass Ale isn't cheap around here. Bought a six for one bottle in the receipe. However, around my house beer never goes to waste. My wife loved this recipe. It's fun to experiment and she's the guinea pig. Sometimes she loves what I cook, others she just says "You can have the rest". Her polite way of saying she didn't like it. We'll be fightin' over the leftovers from this meal!Read more

A New Family Fave!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These are delicious and very easy to make. Added bonus: when company is over, you aren't tied to the kitchen while everyone... else is visiting. You can be spending time with your guests while the ribs are simmering away.Read more

Easy recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was very easy to make and truly delicious. After the ribs were done I sliced up a sweet onion and blanched in the... drippings and put those over the sauced ribs before putting in the oven for the final bake. I did lighly baste the ribs with the hoisin sauce so they didn't taste too sweet. I used 2 bottles of beer and that was enough for 10+ ribs. I then took the leftover juices and emulsified it and thickened to make a deep rich gravy for the rice.The ginger gave it a unique taste. We had rice and steamed broccoli. The hoisin sauce thinned out and heated went well with the broccoli topped with crushed peanuts.Read more
