Ingredients

1/2 gallon soy sauce, such as Aloha
16 cups brown sugar
Ground black pepper
4 ounces garlic cloves, minced
1 yellow onion, julienned
5 pounds boneless beef short ribs
2 pounds jumbo shrimp, butterflied
Garlic powder, for dusting
5 ounces garlic butter
Garlic salt
2 green onions, chopped
Cooked white rice
Molokai Sweet Potato Salad, recipe follows
Garlic aioli
Teriyaki sauce
Chopped green onions
8 Molokai purple sweet potatoes, skin-on
1 russet potato, skin-on
2 large eggs, optional
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Garlic salt
6 strips crispy bacon, smashed to bits
2 cups mayonnaise

Steps:

For the short ribs: Combine the brown sugar, soy sauce and a pinch black pepper in a large braising pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the garlic and onions and boil for 2 minutes.
Cut the beef short ribs into 3-ounce, 2-inch flat squares. Brown them on a preheated flat top griddle. Then add the short ribs to the braising liquid. Simmer until the ribs are tender enough to melt in your mouth, about 2 hours.
For the shrimp: Heat a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F. Dust the shrimp with garlic powder, then deep fry until light golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss with the garlic butter, garlic salt to taste and green onions.
Plate the short ribs and garlic butter shrimp with white rice and Molokai sweet potato salad. Swirl some teriyaki sauce over garlic aioli in a ramekin. Garnish with green onions.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Boil the sweet potatoes, russet potato and eggs, if using, for 10 minutes. Let the potatoes and eggs cool down to room temperature.
Peel the skin off the potatoes and cut into medium dice. Peel and chop the eggs. Add kosher salt, pepper and garlic salt to taste. Add the bacon and eggs. Stir in the mayonnaise and mix thoroughly until well incorporated. Chill for 5 hours before serving.

GARLIC BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH RED WINE

Garlic Braised Short Ribs With Red Wine image

If you weren't already sure about how easy and delicious braised short ribs can be, consider this classic and straightforward recipe an excellent gateway. The ultimate hands-off, do-ahead dinner, these are done on the stovetop in a large Dutch oven but can easily be adapted to a slow cooker if that's your thing. When purchasing the ribs, ask for the thickest, meatiest ones available as they tend to shrink quite a bit once braised.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 pounds bone-in short ribs, at least 1 1/2 inches thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large heads garlic, halved crosswise
1 medium onion (about 10 ounces), chopped
4 ribs celery (about 8 ounces, chopped
2 medium carrots (about 6 ounces), chopped
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups dry red wine (about half a bottle)
2 cups beef stock or bone broth (use beef bouillon dissolved in water if unavailable; chicken stock will work in a pinch), plus more as needed
4 sprigs thyme
1 cup parsley, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped chives
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest

Steps:

Heat oven to 275 degrees. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season short ribs on all sides with salt and pepper. Working in batches, sear short ribs on all sides until deeply and evenly browned, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer browned short ribs to a large plate and continue with remaining ribs.
Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of remaining fat, leaving the good browned bits behind. Reduce heat to medium, and add garlic, cut side down and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion, celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and continue to cook until vegetables are softened but not yet browned, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir to coat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until tomato paste has started to caramelize a bit on the bottom and up the edges of the pot, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add red wine and, using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned or caramelized bits. Let this simmer 2 to 3 minutes, just to take the edge off and reduce a bit. Stir in beef stock along with thyme. Using tongs, return short ribs to the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated, nestling them in there so that they are submerged (if they are just barely covered, nestle them bone side up so that all the meat is submerged, adding more beef stock or water as necessary to cover). Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to oven.
Cook, undisturbed, until short ribs are meltingly tender and falling off the bone (you should be able to shred the meat with a fork), 3½ to 4 hours.
Using tongs, remove the ribs from the pot, taking care (for presentation purposes, really) not to let the bone slip out and transfer them to a large plate. (While you could serve the short ribs right out of this pot, the vegetables have all given up their flavor and texture and aren't worth much now, so feel free to strain the sauce for easier eating.) Scatter parsley, chives and lemon zest over the top of the short ribs. Separate the fat from the sauce, season with salt and pepper and serve alongside.
