Indulge in quick & easy sweet and spicy beef short ribs paired with creamy garlic mashed potatoes. A comfort dinner you can't resist!
Ingredients
- • beef short ribs: 2 lbs, cut into individual ribs
- • honey: 1/3 cup
- • soy sauce: 1/4 cup
- • chili paste: 2 tablespoons
- • rice vinegar: 1 tablespoon
- • garlic cloves: 4, minced
- • ginger: 1 tablespoon, grated
- • red chili flakes: 1 teaspoon
- • salt and pepper: to taste
- • potatoes: 2 lbs, peeled and cubed
- • butter: 1/2 cup, divided
- • heavy cream: 1/2 cup
- • roasted garlic: 1 bulb
- • green onions: 2, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 2 In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, chili paste, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes. Set aside.
- 3 Season the beef short ribs with salt and pepper. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the ribs for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
- 4 Pour the glaze over the ribs in the skillet, turning to coat each piece. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, basting occasionally, until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
- 5 While the ribs are cooking, boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
- 6 Add half the butter, heavy cream, and roasted garlic to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 7 Remove the ribs from the oven. Let them rest briefly before serving. Plate the ribs over a generous scoop of garlic mashed potatoes and garnish with sliced green onions.
Serving Suggestions
- • For a complete meal, consider serving these ribs with a fresh green salad dressed in a tangy vinaigrette to cut through the richness of the dish. A side of steamed broccoli or green beans would add a nice crunch and a pop of color to your plate. Pair this indulgent meal with a bold red wine, like a Cabernet Sauvignon, to complement the robust flavors of the beef. Alternatively, a crisp, cold beer can offer a refreshing balance to the sweetness and spice of the glaze.
Storage Tips
If you have leftovers, store the ribs and mashed potatoes separately in airtight containers. The ribs will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, while the mashed potatoes can last for about 2 days. To reheat, gently warm the ribs in the oven at 300°F (150°C) until heated through. The mashed potatoes can be reheated on the stovetop with a splash of cream or butter to restore their creamy texture.
