Instructions

1. 1

   Blanch beef short ribs in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove impurities. Pat dry.

2. 2

   Marinate blanched beef ribs with Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, white pepper, and cornstarch for 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Heat cooking oil in a wok or large pot over medium-high heat. Add fermented black beans, julienned ginger, and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).

4. 4

   Add marinated beef ribs and bell peppers to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until beef is lightly seared.

5. 5

   Pour in beef broth, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until beef is tender.

6. 6

   Stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency. Drizzle with sesame oil. Serve hot, preferably in a claypot.
