Beef Short Ribs with Black Pepper

I cooked this beef short ribs with black pepper for dinner. I got the recipe from Christine's blog. Its very good. Thanks Christine for sharing your recipe with us.

Ingredients :

300 gm beef short ribs (or veal, thinly sliced)

1 onion

1/2 stalk celery

1 tsp minced garlic

1 tsp minced shallot

1 tsp freshly grated black pepper

2 Tbsp chicken stock

Marinade

2 tsp light soy sauce

1 tsp cornflour

1/2 tsp sugar

1 tsp Shaoxing wing

a dash sesame oil

black pepper, to taste

Thickening:

1 tsp light soy sauce

1/2 tsp sugar

2 Tbsp water

1 tsp cornflour

Method:

1. Rinse short ribs and wipe them dry. Cut into about 2.5cm (1 inch) in length. Blend in marinade for 15 minutes. Heat oil in a frypan over high heat until lightly brown, about 80% done. Make sure to fry briefly in one single layer, not letting them overlap. Set aside, covered.
2. Heat some oil and sauté onion over medium heat until translucent. Add celery, continue to cook for 3 minutes. Push onion and celery to sides of pan. Add a dash of oil to sauté black pepper, garlic and shallot in the center until aromatic. Stir and combine onion and celery. Pour chicken stock and continue to cook until onion softens. When sauce dries up a bit, toss back short ribs. Turn to high heat. Add thickening, stir quickly and combine well. Cook consistency to your preference. Dish up and enjoy.
