Instructions

  1. 1

    Submerge the short ribs in cold water for 30 minutes to draw out excess blood. Drain, then boil the ribs in a large pot of water for 5-7 minutes to remove impurities. Drain again and rinse the ribs thoroughly under cold running water.

  2. 2

    In a blender, puree the Asian pear, onion, and garlic until completely smooth. Mix the puree with the soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil.

  3. 3

    Place the cleaned ribs in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, pour the marinade over them, and add 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  5. 5

    Add the carved chunks of carrot, Korean radish, and peeled chestnuts to the pot.

  6. 6

    Leave the pot uncovered and increase the heat to medium. Simmer for an additional 30-40 minutes until the vegetables are tender, the meat is falling off the bone, and the sauce has reduced to a thick, glossy glaze.
