Green Peas and Beef Short Ribs Recipe

Green Peas and Beef Short Ribs Recipe

• 5g green tea rubs (a mixture of green tea leaves, sugar, and spices)
• 1 lb (450g) beef short ribs, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup oyster sauce
• 1/4 cup beef broth
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup fresh or frozen green peas
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
• Optional: 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or almonds, for garnish

1. Prepare the Green Tea Rubs:
   • Combine the green tea leaves, sugar, and spices in a small bowl to create the green tea rubs. This mixture will be used to season the beef short ribs.
2. Season the Beef Short Ribs:
   • Pat the beef short ribs dry with paper towels. Rub the green tea rubs all over the ribs, pressing the rubs into the meat to ensure they adhere well.
3. Sear the Beef Short Ribs:
   • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the ribs from the skillet and set aside.
4. Prepare the Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, or until fragrant.
5. Simmer the Sauce:
   • Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, beef broth, and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Cook the Green Peas:
   • Add the green peas to the skillet and cook until they are heated through and slightly tender, about 3-4 minutes.
7. Combine the Ingredients:
   • Return the seared beef short ribs to the skillet with the sauce and green peas. Simmer for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the ribs are tender and the sauce has thickened.
8. Finish and Serve:
   • Transfer the Green Peas and Beef Short Ribs to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and, if desired, toasted pine nuts or almonds.
9. Serve Immediately:
   • Serve the Green Peas and Beef Short Ribs immediately, enjoying the tender, flavorful ribs with the fresh green peas and the subtle hint of green tea from the rubs.
