Recipe by Chris Morocco Don’t braise your short ribs—grill them. They’re intensely beefy, with gorgeous marbling that encourages crispy bits.

Ingredients

  • 1 lemongrass stalk
  • 1 large shallot, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped

Purée in a blender until chiles are broken down to small flecks (be careful not to overprocess). Transfer to a small bowl; stir in peanuts and fish sauce.
