Solo Cooking God's Beef Short Rib Pasta

Maximizing umami with anchovy sauce and tonkatsu sauce, topped generously with rich beef short rib in an oil-fusion pasta

🙋 Recommended for

  • Those seeking a unique pasta with savory beef fat and salty Korean-style sauce instead of tomato or cream bases
  • Home cooks who want to quickly prepare a hearty combination of rich beef short rib and chewy pasta

Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • pasta 1 serving
  • beef short rib 150g
  • minced garlic 1 tablespoon
  • anchovy sauce 2 tablespoons
  • tonkatsu sauce 2 tablespoons
  • sugar 1 tablespoon
  • green onion to taste
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • red pepper powder to taste

Recipe 🍳

  1. Boil pasta in vigorously boiling water with a pinch of salt until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a dry pan, lay out beef short rib 150g evenly and sauté with minced garlic 1 tablespoon, a pinch of salt, and pepper until the meat fat renders and the meat turns golden brown.
  3. Since beef short rib cooks quickly, add the cooked pasta directly into the pan once the meat is no longer pink and has developed a rich aroma.
  4. Add anchovy sauce 2 tablespoons, tonkatsu sauce 2 tablespoons, and sugar 1 tablespoon according to the recipe.
  5. Stir over high heat to ensure the beef fat and savory-sweet sauce fully coat the pasta strands.
  6. If the pasta becomes too dry and thick during stir-frying, add a splash of water or reserved pasta water to restore moisture.
  7. Plate the finished pasta neatly, sprinkle finely chopped green onion evenly for color, then finish with a light dusting of pepper and red pepper powder.
  1. Cook pasta in boiling water, drain, and set aside.
  2. Sauté beef short rib, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a pan to render fat, then add cooked pasta.
  3. Add anchovy sauce, tonkatsu sauce, and sugar; stir until moist and well-coated, then garnish with green onion and red pepper powder.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When boiling pasta in a pan instead of a pot, the edges may burn if they touch the flame directly—immediately push the pasta completely under the water after adding it.
  • If beef short rib is too expensive, use affordable sirloin or marbled pork belly with ample fat to achieve a similar rich meaty oil flavor.
