Asian-style sticky short rib

By Abigail Donnelly

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cooking Time 3 1/2 hours

Ingredients

2 kg short rib
1 x 6 cm ginger piece, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, sliced
2 red chillies, chopped
250 ml soya sauce
6 T brown sugar
3 star anise
250 ml apple juice
125 ml water

Method

Place all the ingredients in a potjie or a flat-bottomed cast-iron pan over low coals. Cook, covered, for 3 hours.

Once the short rib is cooked and tender, remove it from the potjie and reduce the sauce until sticky, about 20 minutes. Serve the short ribs smothered in the sticky sauce.

Cook’s note: If cooking in the oven, cook at 160°C for 3 hours. The sauce can be reduced in a pan over a medium heat.
