Braised Hoisin Short Ribs with Beer
Serves: 2 Servings
Ingredients:
• 3 lbs beef short ribs (about 10 ribs)
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 3 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 12 garlic cloves smashed
• 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch slices

• 4 Tbsp rice wine vinegar

Directions:
• Season the ribs generously with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy pot with a lid (Dutch oven) over high heat. Brown the ribs on all sides, in batches if necessary. Remove the ribs and pour off all but a couple tablespoons of the rendered fat.
• Return the pot to the stove, lower the heat to medium and saute the garlic and ginger for about 3 minutes. Add the ribs back to the pot. Add the beer, vinegar and water. Stir and then cover and simmer for 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

• Remove ribs and ginger from sauce. Strain fat from the top of the pot and pour the remaining sauce over short ribs for extra flavor.

My favorite Lee Kum Kee products are their Panda Brand Ready Sauces. There are many wonderful recipes you can make, such as Lettuce Wraps or Broccoli Beef. But my family’s favorite way to use the sauces is to mix them in with chopped up chicken or beef, and then eat it over white rice. Check out my two dishes below, which were a huge hit with the kids!
Chicken and Panda Brand Sauce for Orange Chicken
Beef and Panda Brand Sauce for Mongolian Beef or Panda Brand Sauce for Broccoli Beef
My husband and one son like a spicier taste, so they really enjoyed the Mongolian Beef Sauce best. My other son and I prefer a milder taste, so we loved the dish made with the Broccoli Beef Sauce.
