Sung Anh's Simple Beef Short Rib Stir-Fry

1. Place the beef short ribs into a preheated stainless steel pan without adding any oil, and begin lightly stir-frying.
2. Once the meat surface loses its red hue and starts to slightly cook through, pour soy sauce and mirin in a 1:1 ratio around the edge of the pan.
3. Add a very small amount of minced garlic to clean up and enhance the meat’s flavor.
4. Add plenty of finely sliced scallions and stir-fry rapidly over high heat until the seasoning and meat fat fully coat the scallions.
5. Remove from heat when the scallions’ freshness begins to fade, transfer to a plate, and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh, remaining scallions for visual appeal.

Cooking tips 💡

• Beef short ribs naturally release plenty of fat, so adding extra oil will make the dish greasy; skipping oil keeps it clean and light.
• The base seasoning ratio is equal parts soy sauce and mirin; for a Japanese-style twist, add a tiny bit of minced ginger if desired.
• Overcooking can toughen the meat, so the key is to cook quickly to preserve the beef short ribs’ signature chewy texture.
