Monthly Recipe: Gochujang BBQ Ribs- Slow Cooked

Savory & Sweet 

Korean-Style Ribs

Finger-Licking Good!


It's officially rib season, y'all! 
And since I'm not proficient with grilling them YET, we're pulling out the slow cooker instead.

Enjoy this simple and delicious Korean-style recipe. The beef is marinated with a mix of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, apple cider vinegar and gochujang paste, then slow cooked on low. Using an air fryer (or oven) afterwards to broil is an extra touch to caramelize the sauce. 

Add a side dish and veggies for a perfect weeknight or weekend dinner! 


INGREDIENTS: SHORT RIBS

  • 3 to 4 pounds of beef short ribs
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar (or honey)
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 6 green onions sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 2 teaspoon grated ginger root
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang paste
  • 1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar


Gochujang BBQ Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup gochujang paste
  • 1/2 cut ketchup
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

Garnish:

  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • 4 tsp toasted sesame seeds


DIRECTIONS

Optional: Brown short ribs in a skillet or under the broiler to give them some color and depth of flavor.

  1. Place short ribs on a shallow plate. Combine brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, ginger, garlic, gochujang, pepper, and water in a small bowl. Pour over the short ribs and allow to marinate for 30 minutes to 3 hours.
  2. Transfer the marinated beef short ribs to the slow cooker, add 1 cup of water or beef broth, cover the lid, and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours, turning once halfway through to ensure all sides of the ribs soak up the sauce. 
  3. Use tongs to remove ribs from pot; drain liquid (or save for gochujang sauces)

Now, the Sauce!

  1. Whisk gochujang, ketchup, honey, brown sugar, and soy sauce until blended and sugar is dissolved. Brush sauce over ribs.
  2.  Use air fryer to broil at 400 degrees for 10-15 mins or until ribs are heated through and sauce starts to caramelize.
  3. Sprinkle with green onions and add sesame seeds before serving.

Note: Slow cooker cooking times can vary depending on your brand.

** If you want to cook the short ribs in a Dutch oven, add an additional cup of water to the sauce and bake, covered, in a 300°F (150ºC) oven for 3 to 4 hours or until the ribs are tender.

😋😋😋😋

I've made these ribs several times and each batch is better than the one before. Adjust spices as needed to find what best fits your palate. 

Bon appetite!!

Glossary of Equity & Inclusion Terms

Knowledge is Power: When We're Informed We're Better People 🤓 Hey Y'all!  Before you scoff and roll your eyes.. Hear me out. During orientation at my new workplace, I was given a glossary of terms to become familiar with. Having not worked anywhere that gave a damn about diversity, equity, or inclusion, let alone spent time during the new employee onboarding process to convey it, I was impressed.  The organization's vision is to be known within the community as a force that's committed to DEI. Yeah, this stuff matters, especially since the majority of the staff and clients are POC, those living with mental health issues or disabilities, veterans, seniors, or a combination of the above. This glossary is a tool to increase your awareness (if you're not familiar with these terms) and to provide common language for us to use in conversations.  〰〰〰〰 Ableism  - The all-encompassing system of discrimination and exclusion of people who live with developmental, medical,...

Part 2: CPI De-Escalation Tips

Hey Y'all, I've been focusing a lot on aggressive and violent behavior, as well as exploring strategies to navigate mental health crises, should you find yourself locked in one. These types of situations can emerge quite unexpectedly, and there aren't official protocols or a magic formula for preventing these high-stress events from happening. There are, however, constructive, positive and humane ways to respond and handle these behaviors. These de-escalation tips from CPI are about support not suppression and about seeing each other with the compassion that each of us want to be seen with. 10 Ways to De-escalate High Stress Situations - Be Empathic and Nonjudgemental- Don't judge or be dismissive of the feelings of the person or people in distress. Remember that their feelings are real, whether or not you think they're justified or not. Respect those feelings, keeping in mind that whatever the person is going through could be the most important event in their life ...

Book Review: We'll Soon Be Home Again

Six Stories of Children Who Watched Europe Descend Into Tyranny Sweden's Most Internationally Renowned Graphic Novel Hey Y'all, In an attempt to switch up from my usual content I'll start doing book reviews once a month. For May, I'm reviewing the graphic novel by Jessica Bab Bonde and Peter Bergting titled  We'll Soon Be Home Again.  It's a haunting but necessary read that shares six real stories of children who survived the Holocaust, each one raw and painful. The illustrations are honest and stark; the storytelling straightforward, which somehow makes it hit even harder. As we watch anti-Blackness, anti-migrant, and all forms of hate rise in today’s America, especially against anyone who isn’t cis, white, or Christian, this book feels urgent. For me it served as a history lesson and a warning... I'm going to be honest, this isn’t an easy read, but it shouldn’t be. Their stories are a moving cry for compassion, as each one is stripped of their possessions ...
