A delicious and easy-to-make Korean-inspired BBQ beef ribs recipe, perfect for a hearty meal.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the sugar dissolves completely for a balanced flavor.
Place the beef ribs in the slow cooker and pour the prepared sauce over them.
Arrange the ribs in a single layer for even cooking.
Cover and cook on high for 6 hours or on low for 9 hours, until the ribs are tender.
Check the ribs occasionally to ensure they are cooking evenly.
Transfer the ribs to a serving platter and keep warm.
Cover the platter with foil to retain heat.
Skim off excess fat from the cooking liquid in the slow cooker.
Use a spoon to remove the fat layer for a cleaner sauce.
In a saucepan, combine the cornstarch and water, then whisk into the cooking liquid.
Whisk continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 2 minutes until thickened.
Stir constantly to avoid burning the sauce.
Add the sliced carrots to the sauce and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Ensure the carrots are evenly coated with the sauce.
Pour the sauce with carrots over the ribs and garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
Sprinkle the garnishes just before serving for a fresh look.
Serve the ribs over cooked white rice and enjoy your meal.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
