Deliciously sweet and savory, these beef short ribs cooks for over 6 hours in a slow-cooker. Start around (or before) 11am, and it'll be succulent by dinner, without any afternoon prep work. Serve with a Japanese or Chinese beer and a crisp salad with Sesame-Soy-Ginger dressing.
From the excellent "New Slow Cooker" cookbook, available at Williams-Sonoma. They pair it with an optional Daikon/carrot salad, which looked terrific as well.
Preheat the broiler. Season the ribs all over with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and the five-spice powder, and place on a rack set in a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, turning once, until nicely browned and sizzling on both sides, 8-10 minutes on each side.
In a slow cooker, stir together the hoisin sauce and ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, onion, ginger, and garlic. Add the ribs and turn to coat evenly with the hoisin mixture. Stack the thicker ribs at the bottom of the slow cooker. Cover and cook on the low setting for 6 hours. The meat should be very tender.
Remove the ribs from the slow cooker, and serve the meat on or off the bones. Divide among warm shallow bowls or plates, moisten each serving with some of the braising liquid, and top with a large spoonful of crisp asian salad (e.g., Daikon and carrot salad with ginger-soy dressing), if using. Garnish with the nuts, if using, and serve at once.
