I love the flavors of Korean cuisine, so I created short ribs for the slow cooker. The dish is beautiful, too! — Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia

Ingredients

1/2 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
1/3 cup sherry or additional reduced-sodium beef broth
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

This was a huge hit with my husband and picky teenager! Boneless ribs were less expensive and I was pressed for time in the morning so I set the slow cooker to high and about four hours later my boys were asking for seconds.

Excellent Recipe! This will be one of my go to recipes for busy days, and for company! I was so impressed by the flavor, and tenderness of the ribs. I could not find short ribs at my grocer, so I substituted spare ribs. I also squeezed lime all over the rice for an extra burst of flavor, and instead of 1/2 cup of beef broth, I used a full cup! Thank you for sharing your wonderful creation!

This was very good. I made it with a boneless pork roast, because that was on sale at my local grocery store ($2.99/lb vs $7.99/lb for beef short ribs), I just cut the roast into rib-size pieces. I did not make the green rice, because we don't like cilantro or jalapenos. I substituted basmati rice cooked in beef broth instead. Served steamed broccoli with it. We enjoyed it very much.

Delicious, soft, and tender meat. The sauce gives it a good flavor, though it is not strongly Korean. The green rice is really good and is worth making. I made it as written except for substituting brown sugar for the honey. Straining out the sauce, separating the fat, and then thickening it and adding it back really helps reduce the fattiness of this cut of meat.

Awesome..My son gave it a 9 and my husband and I gave it 10s. Incredible. I did make one subsitution. I did not have any honey so I used maple syrup (something my grandmother did when she didn't have honey) Nobody noticed

The rice was excellent and smelled great. The meat was good but I felt it either had too much of something or not enough; I couldn't put my finger on it.

pinkpotatoes ~ I hope you get this! I don't do beef short ribs for that very reason. I'm here just for the rice and seasonings part of the recipe. I intend to use Country Style Boneless Pork Ribs.Good Luck ~ Kitzer

I am actually not reviewing this but it looks and sounds fabulous. What I really would like to know is, where did you find short ribs with so much meat on them? The only ones I see here are so much bone and fat that we hardly get any meat!

This was AMAZING! You could easily make this with a pot roast as well. Next time I will add a little more ginger but other than that wont stray from the recipe. The green rice was a perfect compliment!

This is excellent!! I replaced the honey with asian hot sauce as we prefer spicy to sweet foods.
