Ingredients

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean chili powder)
  • 2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ cup Mirin (rice wine)
  • ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pear, peeled and chopped
  • 1 apple, peeled and chopped
  • 4 green onions, chopped

Everything Else

  • 2 large carrots, chopped in 2 inch pieces
  • 1 large onion, cut in quarters
  • ½ cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 medium turnip, cut in one inch pieces
  • 1 cup rice cakes
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 4 lb beef short ribs

Instructions

  • Place all the sauce ingredients in your food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.
  • Rub all the short rib pieces with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Sear all sides in pan over high heat. Don’t be tempted to turn them too quickly! Let a good crust form on each side! There's flavor in the brown! Place them at the bottom of your slow cooker.
  • Cover the meat with rice cakes and then vegetables. Pour sauce over the top, then pour in beef broth. Cook on low heat for 6-7 hours (stirring once, halfway through) or until the meat is tender and vegetables are cooked.
  • Serve over rice or on its own. Spoon sauce over the top and maybe a sprinkle of chopped green onion and sesame seeds. When you break into the meat it will look like this and you will cry when it gets in your mouth. You will question all other meats. This is normal. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery after eating. May cause drowsiness.
