Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by rinsing the beef short ribs under cold water, then pat them dry using paper towels.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, chili paste, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Place the short ribs in a large resealable bag or shallow bowl, pour the marinade over and ensure they are evenly coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  4. About 30 minutes before cooking, preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Sear the marinated short ribs for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
  6. Transfer the short ribs to a roasting pan and drizzle with remaining marinade.
  7. Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil and roast for about 3-4 hours until fork-tender.
  8. After roasting, remove the foil and continue to roast for an additional 30 minutes for caramelization.
  9. Check the ribs for tenderness using a fork, and return them to the oven for an additional 15-30 minutes if needed.
  10. Remove from the oven, let rest for 10-15 minutes, then slice and serve garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.
