Brazil Nut Free Korean-Style Braised Short Ribs

Deeply savory and fall-off-the-bone tender, these Korean-inspired braised short ribs are the kind of low-and-slow centerpiece that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. The braising sauce is built around blended Asian pear, coconut aminos, fresh ginger, garlic, and a touch of honey, giving you that signature sweet-savory depth without any soy or ingredients that could sneak in unwanted allergens. Carrots and parsnips braise alongside the ribs in the final stretch, soaking up all that rich, spiced liquid until they're meltingly soft. The technique here does the heavy lifting — a proper sear first, then a long covered braise, then a quick reduction of the sauce at the end to concentrate every bit of flavor. Every ingredient in this dish is straightforward and easy to verify, which is a genuine relief when you're cooking for someone with tree nut sensitivities and want to be confident about what's in the pot. Serve it over rice or alongside something simple to catch the sauce, and don't skip the scallion garnish — it adds a fresh, bright contrast to all that richness.
