Honey Miso Short Ribs

Ingredients

• 2 lbs boneless short ribs (wagyu if you can get it)
• 1/4 cup miso
• 1/3 cup dark soy sauce
• 200 ml sake
• 8 cups beef stock
• 1 star anise
• 2/3 cup honey
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 4 scallions, sliced
• 1 x 1" piece ginger, sliced
• Salt and pepper
• Neutral oil, for searing

Directions

• Season the short ribs well with salt and pepper. Sear hard on all sides, then remove from the pan.
• Pour off most of the fat. Add the garlic, ginger, and scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.
• Deglaze with the sake.
• Add the honey, soy sauce, miso, and star anise. Stir until combined.
• Return the short ribs and cover with the beef stock. Cook at 325F, covered, for 3 hours, until fork-tender.
• Strain off the liquid and thicken it with a cornstarch slurry.
• Serve over mashed potato with plenty of sauce and sliced green onion.
