Instructions
1
Start by coating the beef short ribs evenly with flour. This will help create a nice crust and absorb the flavors during the cooking process.
2
In a heated non-stick pan, add the cooking oil and carefully place the floured short ribs into the pan. Brown the ribs on all sides, which should take about 4-5 minutes. Once browned, remove them from the pan and set aside.
3
In the same pan, add the diced tomato, onion, and chili-garlic sauce. Sauté these for about 2 minutes until the vegetables are softened and aromatic.
4
Next, return the browned short ribs to the pan. Pour in the oyster sauce and add the prepared carrot, celery, and potato chunks. Carefully mix everything together.
5
Add the water or beef broth, making sure to cover the beef ribs and vegetables. Bring the mixture to a rapid boil.
6
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for approximately 45 minutes, or until the meat is tender and easy to shred.
7
Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve hot over rice or noodles for a comforting meal.
