What are beef short ribs?

Short ribs are a cut of meat taken from the rib area of beef cattle. They can be cut in a cross section in short portions of various thickness.

Growing up my mom served at a variety of Asian restaurants and I was lucky enough to be introduced to a wide variety of delicious Asian food. For special occasions I would always request a dinner full of Korean recipes.

Most of these recipes include ingredients that you can easily find in grocery stores. While a trip to Asian markets is not really needed, it’s always fun to explore and try new things found there.

I always try to have rice wine, low sodium soy sauce, minced ginger, garlic cloves and white rice in the kitchen pantry as my staples.

These Korean ribs make a great addition to an easy meal that the whole family will love! Serve them with stir-fried vegetables, cucumber salad or sauteed broccoli.
