Seared Short Rib

This pan-seared short rib dish is a wonderful way to enjoy the deep, savoury flavour of beef without the need for heavy sauces or added sugars. By using cross-cut flanken-style ribs, the meat cooks quickly over a high heat, resulting in a beautifully caramelised exterior and a tender, succulent centre. The addition of chilled white onions and fresh lime wedges provides a sharp, refreshing contrast that cuts through the richness of the beef perfectly.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe focuses on high-quality protein and simple, fresh seasonings. The method of soaking the onions in ice water removes their harsh bite, leaving a crisp texture that complements the warm, seared meat. It is an excellent choice for a quick midweek supper or a casual weekend gathering, served alongside grilled courgettes or a fresh green salad for a complete, balanced meal.

Ingredients for Seared Short Rib

  • 900g cross-cut short ribs (flanken or Korean style), each sliced lengthwise about 3/4" thick

  • Kosher salt, ground pepper

  • 1 white onion, finely diced

  • 2 limes, cut into wedges

How to make Seared Short Rib

Heat a large dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Alternatively, build a medium-hot charcoal fire, or heat a gas grill to high. Season short ribs generously with salt and pepper. Working in batches, sear ribs until browned, 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, place 240ml cold water and 2 ice cubes in a medium bowl. Add onion; stir, then discard ice and immediately drain well. Transfer onion to a small bowl.

Trim meat from bones; chop into 1/4"-1/2" cubes. Transfer to a serving platter (reserve bones for those who like to gnaw on them). Serve with onion and lime.
