For the short ribs:
2 pounds bone-in beef short ribs, cut into 3-inch pieces
1 dash salt
1 dash freshly ground black pepper
1 large daikon radish, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 cups light soy sauce
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup sesame oil
1/2 cup mirin
1/2 cup sake
2 garlic cloves
1/2 onion
1/2 Asian pear
1 (2-inch) piece of kombu, washed and dried
1 cup frozen pearl onion
1 long red finger chile, sliced thin on bias (for garnish)
1 scallion, sliced thin on bias (for garnish)
Sesame seeds (for garnish)
For the roasted vegetables:
1 bunch baby carrots, left whole
1/4 pound baby fingerling potatoes, left whole
1 dash salt
1 dash freshly ground black pepper

1
Cut each short rib into individual bones, and season with salt and pepper. Then, in a pan set over medium-high heat, sear the ribs on all sides until they are very browned.
2
Place the daikon radish on the bottom of a large, cast-iron Dutch oven, then place the seared short ribs on top (bone side down). Preheat the oven to 325u00b0 F.
3
Using a blender, blend the soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, mirin, sake, garlic cloves, onion, and Asian pear together. Add the mixture to the Dutch oven, along with 2 cups of water.
4
Cover the mixture, including the short ribs and daikon, with a layer of kombu and place lid on. Bring to a boil on the stove top.
5
Once it comes to a boil, turn off the stove and move the pot into the oven and cook for about 3 hours, or until very tender. Discard the kombu and skim the fat. Add the pearl onions and toss until warmed through.
6
To make the roasted vegetables: Crank the oven up to 400u00b0 F. Toss the carrots and potatoes in sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
7
To serve, garnish the short ribs with red finger chile, scallion, and sesame seeds, and serve alongside the roasted vegetables.
