Korean-style Short Ribs
Prep time: 12-24 hours
Cook time: 3 hours
Serves: 6
Ingredients:
• 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp white vinegar
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• ½ yellow onion, finely chopped

Directions:
1. In large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, vinegars, sugar, Sriracha and pepper. Add onion, green onion and garlic. Stir to combine.
2. Add short ribs to a resealable plastic bag and coat with marinade. Remove as much air from bag as possible to get a tight seal. Let marinade for at least 12 hours; 24 hours would be preferable.

4. Wrap ribs in tinfoil and bake at 250°F for three hours. Unwrap and serve.
