Sticky beef ribs with macadamia bulgolgi sauce

This dish is a macadamia extravaganza using macadamias in both the sauce and the sprinkle and macadamia oil in the dressing. Bulgolgi sauce is a macadamia twist on a traditional Korean sauce and equally delicious when used as a marinade or for dipping these delicious sticky beef ribs.

Ingredients
  

Ribs

  • 1.8 kg beef short ribs cut into 7cm pieces
  • 5 cm ginger sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 onion quartered
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce

Macadamia bulgolgi sauce

  • 1/2 cup roasted macadamias
  • 2 tbsp Korean bean paste
  • 1 tbsp crushed chilli paste (sambal oelek) or to taste
  • 2-3 cloves garlic peeled
  • 1/4 cup rice wine
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp caster sugar or to taste
  • 3 tbsp macadamia oil

Macadamia, chilli and coconut sprinkle

  • 1/4 cup raw macadamias finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 tbsp dried chilli crushed, or to taste
  • 2 tsp macadamia oil 

Macadamia oil and lime dressing

  • 1/4 cup macadamia oil
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1-2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 tsp lime zest finely grated
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • salt to taste

Crisp vegetable, watercress and herb salad*

  • watercress salad leaves
  • daikon julienned
  • cucumber julienned
  • enoki mushrooms julienned
  • coriander leaves

Instructions
 

  • Place the ribs in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Skim any scum that rises to the surface, add remaining ingredients and continue to simmer for 1½ hours. Remove ribs and set aside on a baking tray in a single layer, reserving ¼ cup of cooking liquid.
  • Make the Bulgolgi sauce by placing all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and processing until smooth. Add more sugar for a sweeter sauce and more chilli for a spicier sauce.
  • Preheat oven to 180°C. Mix half the bulgolgi sauce with the reserved cooking liquid and brush each rib generously. Place ribs in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, basting after 15 minutes with any leftover sauce, until the ribs are bubbling.
  • Meanwhile prepare the sprinkle by preheating oven to 180°C and combining all ingredients thoroughly in a bowl. Line a baking tray with baking paper and spread the sprinkle over in an even layer. Place in the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes, until golden.
  • For the dressing, place all ingredients in a jar and shake to combine. Place all salad ingredients in a bowl and toss through the dressing.
  • Serve the ribs with the sprinkle, salad and remaining bulgolgi sauce. 

Notes

*You can use any crisp salad leaves, herbs and vegetables of your choice in this salad.
