Ingredients

Contains: milk, soy, fish (auto-detected from the ingredients and method; we can miss things, so check labels)

Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Whisk the apple butter, seasoned soy sauce, sriracha, fish sauce and minced garlic in a bowl. Reserve about half of the sauce in a separate bowl for brushing later.

  2. Place the beef ribs in a large dish, pour the unreserved sauce over them, turn to coat and cover. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  3. Heat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Arrange the ribs bone side down in a roasting pan, discarding the used marinade.

  4. Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for 2 hours, until the meat is starting to become tender.

  5. Uncover the ribs, brush them with the reserved sauce and bake for 45 minutes more, brushing every 15 minutes, until tender and at least 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part.

  6. Let the ribs rest for 3 minutes. Cut them between the bones and arrange on a platter.

  7. Scatter the sliced green onions over the ribs. Serve with the kimchi on the side if using (optional).
