Miso braised short ribs

I love miso, it can add so much depth and umami to anything. I love recipes that use miso in non-traditional Japanese dishes. I found this one online and I loved the idea. It is inspired by a recipe on Kwokspots.

Ingredients

• 1.5 kg beef short ribs (bone-in)
• 1 tbsp salt
• 2 ½ tbsp plain flour
• vegetable oil, for searing
• 2 brown onions, quartered
• 7 garlic cloves
• ¼ cup white miso
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ⅓ cup mirin
• 1.5 litres beef stock
• dark soy sauce
• 1 tsp cornflour mixed with ¼ cup water

To serve

• mashed potatoes
• 2 spring onions, finely sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180˚C. Cut the beef short ribs into individual bones and remove excess fat. Season with the salt and coat the short ribs with flour.
2. Heat a generous drizzle of vegetable oil in a large heavy-based saucepan and sear the ribs for 3 minutes on each side, or until browned. Remove to a plate.
3. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and stir for 1 minute. Add the miso paste, soy sauce and mirin and stir to combine. Return the beef ribs to the pan and cover with the beef stock.
4. Braise the ribs in the oven for 2½ hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
5. Transfer the braising liquid to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. Add dark soy sauce to darken the colour and thicken it using the cornflour slurry. Serve the miso braised short ribs with mashed potato, the sauce and garnish with the spring onion.

Note

• Use cooking caramel and 100 g unsalted butter to your sauce to make it shiny!
