Ingredients 

  • 1700 grams beef rib fingers
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 75 grams scallions cut into 2 inch lengths
  • 20 grams garlic smashed
  • 20 grams ginger cut into coins
  • 2 cups sake
  • ½ cup gochujang
  • 3 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Instructions

  • Cut 1700 grams beef rib fingers in half to make them more manageable.
  • Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oilto a large heavy-bottomed pot such as a Dutch oven, and brown the beef on both sides in batches.
  • After removing the last batch of ribs, add 75 grams scallions, 20 grams garlic, and 20 grams ginger to the oil and fry the aromatics until they’ve started to brown.
  • Use a paper towel to soak up the excess oil.
  • Return the ribs to the pot and add 2 cups sake, ½ cup gochujang, 3 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, and 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover with a lid, and lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
  • The rib fingers will render a lot of fat, so use a skimmer to remove it periodically.
  • The ribs are done when a fork passes easily through the meat. This will take 2 to 2 ½ hours.
  • Remove the ribs from the pot and skim off as much fat as possible.
  • Strain the braising liquid through a sieve into a large pan.
  • Boil the braising liquid until it is thick and glossy.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, braised rib fingers, and glaze with the sauce.
  • I like serving these with rice, but you can also pull the beef and make sandwiches.
