Ingredients

4 carrots, chopped
2 leeks, rinsed well and chopped
3 pounds bone-in beef short ribs, fat trimmed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
1/3 cup sherry
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups instant brown rice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup chopped scallions
2 tablespoons minced pickled jalapenos
1 teaspoon lime zest

Directions

Heat a large Dutch oven and arrange carrots and leeks on the bottom. Season ribs all over with salt and pepper and place over vegetables. In a medium bowl, whisk together broth, sherry, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, ginger, and garlic. Pour mixture over ribs. Cover and braise for 3 to 4 hours. This can also be done in a slow cooker - just cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.

Cook rice according to package directions.

While still hot, stir in cilantro, scallions, jalapenos, and lime zest. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve half of the rice with the ribs (and carrots and leeks) and reserve extra rice for another meal.

Did not enjoy the outcome
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Found myself very dissapointed. Ginger too strong may need to cut back. I would not make this recipe again. I do like Robin's... program and I would give a try to another of her recipes.Read more

Very good with a few simple changes
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

With a few simple changes, many of the other reviewers' complaints can be fixed. Browning the meat is essential and adds only... minutes to the prep time. It makes the difference between gray, stringy meat and tender beef with a dark brown, delicious crust. Searing will also take care of the excess grease in the sauce. I also recommend rubbing the ribs with some Chinese five-spice powder before searing. It adds a delicious flavor to the entire dish that balances the other flavors in the sauce. Just a little bit rubbed on all sides makes a huge difference. Other than that, the rest of the recipe was fine and produced a wonderful meal. Read more

Pretty Good but Not Asian Enough
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was pretty good. I might make it again. But I kind of made a lot of changes. I used round steak (sold as London Broil)... instead of short ribs. This is a much leaner cut of meat so there was no greasiness the other reviewers were commenting on. Yes the meat was a bit more dry but it was still fork tender. I marinated the meat for several hours before, and then did a quick sear. Honestly I would never consider doing a roast without searing first; the taste to work ratio is worth it. I added an onion to the veggie mix and I'm glad I did because I found myself wanting more veggies. Lastly, I used wheat berries instead of brown rice, simply for health reasons. I agree with others that this did not taste asian enough, it just tasted like pot roast. Next time I'll triple the ginger and add some dark sesame oil. Read more

The whole family adored!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have a picky husband and 2 and 4 years old boys, they absolutly LOVED this hearty meal...perfect for a cold night! I did... it with 2lbs of beef short ribs with the bones, and a 2lbs of ribs without, b/c I thought the little guys might like that better, but it wasn't necessary, b/c everything had fallen off the bones - perfectly! I doubled the recipe... I did add a cilantro, lime and scallions into the pot with the ribs as well...just to give it a tad more punch - if you like those flavors. One of our new favorites! Read more

Bland, bland, bland
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Not what we expected at all. Tasted like mom's pot roast with a hint of ginger. The meat was tender but held no flavor from... the sauce, should be marinated overnight. We won't make this one again.Read more

Won't be keeping this one
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I first made it with beef short ribs............wayyyyy too greasy. I thought the marinade would be good with a roast,... however, my family didn't agree. Sorry. Just didn't match out tastes. I will try the rice dish at some point.Read more
