Beef Short Ribs Char Siu style ( Chuck short ribs )

This is the start, I normally post the whole smoke/cook, but running out of time planning for the trip.

I know most think Char - Siu as pork , but this is me :emoji_wink:

( Char siu literally means "fork roasted" (siu being burn/roast and cha being fork, both noun and verb)

So started with 2 packs of chuck short ribs, they are stamped Family packs, they must think family of 1 per pack. And the price🤮 BUT I wanted them

Put 2 in a bag with just Soya sauce for my sweetie, just incase she will not eat the real ones I am doing. ( must keep the peace )
Made up my marinate ( char siu sauce ) did not add the red food colour ( later ) , but this is a great colour already.

Bagged them both up and into the fridge for the day . Will smoke tonight when I get in from work.
Probably serve with our egg rolls and some noodles or rice.

:emoji_musical_score: :emoji_musical_score: There should have been some Muzac to keep you busy until I got back :emoji_musical_score: :emoji_musical_score:

Ok I'm back from work and here we go with part 2 .

It was a cold one here today -11 " C " = ( 12.2 " F " ) thank god not much wind. So I decided to used the grill and pellet tube.
We finally got rid of that terrible green grass we had so far this winter :emoji_sunglasses: :emoji_laughing: Second snow , this time 5"-6", temp going down to -20 "C " Saturday.

Got the grill going at 350 deg. to melt off the snow, not bad up on the deck, and closer to the door tonight.

My 5 and Monas 2 are just starting nicely. Have the 4 outside burners going so ribs in the middle over low temp burners.
Starting the noodles and the last of our egg rolls. ( will have to make more when we get back ) Boiled up and reduced the Char Siu leftover sauce.
The noodles are new for me . They are Shirataki noodles , like little rubbery noodles , rinse than fry to get the moisture out than add to what ever you want.
I just added toasted sesame seeds and an oil based zesty herb dressing, very nice. Our egg rolls in the oven to get hot ( they were deep fried when we made them, and than froze, so still had a little oil in the shell, so that helped in the oven cook.

Removed Monas Soya Sauce ribs, and covered to keep warm while I glazed up mine with the sauce.

The sauce soaked through very nice , and the flavour was great. Love it

And of coarse we love the egg rolls , time to make more.

So all done and yes I went back for more. The noodles were ok, Took a bit to get used to the texture , little different from reg. Ramen noodles.
But the sauce I added was good , and these noodles have no flavour but take on what ever you add to them.

The Beef short ribs were great, and 1 of my favorite meats to have. Mona loved hers and would not try mine , because she loves her soya sauce.
I really like the Char Siu and will do this again with other cuts of meat.

Thanks for following, been a day .
Thank You

Looking like a good start David. Got my cold 12-pack and extra large tub of buttered popcorn. In this one for the long haul.

Love the kalbi cut for dishes like this. In for the ride. Man it’s been a long time since I’ve seen the Sobeys on something.

Looks good so far. If I ever see thin cut ribs at a decent price again, I may have to try this. BTW, I do use the red food coloring, what the heck? Gives it a special appearance.

Very nice, we do a steady diet of those seared up tasty meat treats.....but we are in a holding pattern cause the propane just comes out in liquid form as it is to cold to do searing Q.....

Looking good David! I don't do food coloring either, makes no sense to me. RAY

Thanks Ray for the comment

All finished now, I did add the colour as it was in the recipe , but you add after the soaking, I use sometimes in foods like jalapeno jelly, I make it sort of red, as it normally would not be. And it is good for presentation, and for deserts for changing parts etc.

Thanks Jeff for the comment

So it is up and posted,
We have always called the short ribs, and my favorite cut I think
Sobeys was started here in nova Scotia back in the early 1907 as a meat delivery with horse and buggy. Open first store in 1912
Started in Stellarton Nova Scotia.

Can't wait to see.

Dave


Yes the wait is over Dave
Thanks for the like and the comment

And yes very cruel, and I don't normally do that. Thought it would save time . No it did not , and just made a
little more confusing for me added more things later.

All finished , I love them . and sometimes I can't wait for a decent price . Just have to have.

I use the colouring when I think it needs it also, like in jalapeno jellies a touch of red, or my relish , touch of green . Or what ever.
