I always get asked what do I cook with Short Ribs (and Pikes Peak). I have Pikes Peak made into Stew Meat, but Short Ribs require a bit more work. I've shared recipes in the past for Short Ribs but I may have found my new favorite today.
We recently had some Short Ribs made into Flaken or Korean Style. I envisioned it like Beef Bacon but with a bone. Tonight, I went to make green beans for our family dinner and thought - man, I don't want to use $10 per pound Bacon when most of the smoky flavor is going to be boiled out... enter the Flanken!
This is a Flanken Short Rib. These were about .5 inches thick and 12 inches long. I cut them up between each bone and chopped them into pieces - the same way I would do bacon for green beans.
And smaller pieces...
I sautéed them in my Instapot until they got some color and then removed them to a bowl to cook the onions in the rendered fat. I did add a little butter at this point because I like the flavor of butter with my onions.
Then, because I had bones in the Short Ribs to make a beef broth, I just added water so I saved the can of beef broth cost as well.
I added dehydrated onions, garlic powder, onion powder, basil and oregano before dumping in a big bag of frozen green beans and filling it with water to the max line.
Super Tasty and look at the broth it made!
