Notes
An easy and festive meal for a special celebration or just because.
This method will work for other cuts of beef (chuck roast, brisket, flank steak, etc.), pork ribs or roast, and chicken.
A generous amount of sauce/gravy is generated, so be liberal.
Using a multi-cooker, one can sear the ribs before the braise, and fry off the onions in the resulting fat, but this is optional.
I love this dish with a vinegar-based hot sauce.
Gochujang already has a heavy salt content, so I’ve used low-salt soy sauce to keep the sodium level down and the flavor balanced.
Ribs come in all sizes. Most recipes allow for one rib per person, and each rib weighing about 200g or just under half a pound.
