I'm not very patient when it comes to preparing meals that would need hours to cook but when it comes to braised meat, it surely is something worth waiting for. Just like baking. These short ribs are fall off the bone goodness. I like how tender the meat is, just perfect with the sweet sauce.
Start seasoning the beef short ribs then searing them just to brown the sides.
Pour in the beef stock then stir in the chives, garlic, Chinese 5 spice, chili peppers, peppercorns, brown sugar, and molasses. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 2 hours. Check in occasionally and make sure the beef short ribs are not sticking to the bottom of the pot. You can also turn over the ribs to prevent it from drying out.
The liquid will reduce to almost nothing and the meat should almost be falling off the bones after 2 hours.
Take out the beef short ribs then add in the wine. Bring to a boil then strain. If the sauce is too thick, add more stock or water.
Pour some sauce on the beef short ribs then serve.
