Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large oranges
3/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/3 cup tomato paste
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled, cut crosswise into thin slices
12 3- to 4-inch-long meaty beef short ribs (about 4 1/2 pounds), top membrane trimmed
24 dried apricots
Chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Using vegetable peeler, remove four 4x1-inch strips from rind of 1 orange. Grate peel from 2 more oranges. Cut 4 oranges in half; squeeze out 1 1/4 cups juice. Whisk grated orange peel, orange juice, hoisin sauce, tomato paste, and garlic in large bowl to blend. Stir in ginger.
  • Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper. Place in heavy large ovenproof pot. Pour orange-ginger mixture over ribs. Stir in orange strips and apricots. Cover and bake 2 hours. Stir rib mixture; reduce oven temperature to 250°F. Continue cooking ribs, covered, until meat is very tender, about 1 hour longer. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and refrigerate. Spoon off solidified fat, then rewarm ribs over medium heat before serving.) Using slotted spoon, transfer ribs and apricots to large platter. Spoon off any fat from sauce in pot. Pour sauce over ribs. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a little less orange juice.

I'm not a big fan of short ribs, but I decided to give this recipe a try and I'm glad I did. The short ribs were fall-apart tender and the sauce was so flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

5 stars! This dish is a keeper. The orange and ginger flavors were perfect together and the short ribs were cooked to perfection.

This recipe was easy to follow and the short ribs turned out amazing. The meat was so tender and flavorful. I served it with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables and it was a hit with my family.

I made this dish last night and it was absolutely delicious! The short ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was perfectly balanced. I will definitely be making this again.
