Asian Short Ribs
Asian Short Ribs might be just the main course you are searching for. One serving contains 1478 calories, 52g of protein, and 124g of fat. This recipe serves 4. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free and dairy free diet. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes about 20 minutes. If you have soy sauce, ginger, rice vinegar, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the fresh ginger you could follow this main course with the Fresh Ginger Cookies as a dessert.
Instructions
In a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker, combine the soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper.
Add the short ribs and carrots and arrange in a single layer.
Lay the cabbage on top.Cook, covered, on high for 5 to 6 hours (or on low for 7 to 8 hours)*, until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
Transfer the cabbage, short ribs, and carrots to plates. With a large spoon or ladle, skim the fat from the cooking liquid and discard.If the slow cooker is on the low setting, turn it to high. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water until smooth.
Whisk into the cooking liquid and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the sesame oil. Spoon the sauce over the short ribs and vegetables and sprinkle with the scallions (if using).*Because different slow-cooker models cook at different rates, the total time is presented as a range. Check for doneness at the low end of the range (but not before, or the escaping heat will slow the cooking). If the food is not done, continue cooking to the end of the suggested range.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Beef Short Ribs. Beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner cuts of beef go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier cuts can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. The Darioush Signature Merlot with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 69 dollars per bottle.

Darioush Signature Merlot
The moderate 2008 growing season yielded small amounts of mature, highly-concentrated Merlot. The resulting wine offers a profile of dense, expressive dark fruit– black raspberry, cherry and dried fig supported by a tight core of dark cocoa, licorice and cola. Sweet, succulent tannins add textural complexity, while a beautiful, long finish reveals notes of rosemary, cinnamon and graham cracker. Blend: 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc
