Sticky Five Spice Short Ribs Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut ribs in individual sections, each with one piece of bone.
• Combine wine, Worcestershire sauce, stock, soy sauce, tangerine peel, sugar, chili paste, five-spice powder, ginger and garlic in a heavy 4- to 5-quart ovenproof saucepan or casserole. Bring to simmer, add ribs and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Cover and place in oven. Cook 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until meat is fork-tender. Remove ribs to a platter, trying to keep a bone in each piece, and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Strain cooking liquid, and degrease. Return to saucepan, and boil down until reduced by half, to about 1 1/2 cups. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Over very low heat, whisk in butter bit by bit. Pour sauce over ribs, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet or large roasting pan with aluminum foil.
• Using a mortar and pestle or an electric spice mill, crush the star anise, fennel seeds and Szechuan peppercorns. Stir in the five-spice powder and 2 teaspoons salt. Put the ribs into a bowl and sprinkle over the spice mixture. I like to get my hands in and rub everything in. Place the ribs in one layer on the baking sheet or roasting pan. Put them in the oven and cook for 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze. In a small pot stir together the soy sauce, olive oil, honey, chilies, garlic, lime zest and sesame seeds, if using.
• When the ribs have cooked for 45 minutes, remove them from the oven and brush them with half the glaze. Sprinkle over the scallions and season well with salt and pepper. Return the ribs to the oven for 15 minutes. Bring the remaining glaze to a boil and remove it from the heat.
• To serve, cut the ribs and pile them onto a big platter. Serve with the remaining glaze as a dipping sauce. I like to serve this with a large green salad and put everything in the middle of the table so everyone can help themselves.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
• Mix together sherry, oyster sauce, and brown sugar until evenly combined; set aside. Pat ribs dry with a paper towel and season well with salt and five-spice powder.
• Place a 3-quart Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed, shallow pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat and add oil. When oil starts to smoke, add ribs and sear until well browned, about 2 minutes per side.
• Remove ribs to a plate and set aside. Discard all but 1 tablespoon drippings, return pan to stove, and add garlic, ginger, and chile and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in reserved sherry mixture and bring to a simmer.
• Return ribs to pan and bring to a simmer. Cover and transfer to oven to cook, turning occasionally, until meat is knife tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Increase oven to 400 degrees F and cook, covered, until ribs are sticky, about 30 more minutes.

Steps:

• Slice the onion and put it into a slow cooker.
• Season the short ribs with garlic salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown all sides of the short ribs. When browned, place in slow cooker on top of sliced onions.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour over the top of short ribs. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours.
