Preparation

  1. BRAISED BBQ BEEF

    • In a large, heavy bottomed pot, season the short ribs and sear. Add the BBQ Sauce, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Reduce heat, cover, and braise until short ribs are tender, about 3 hours. Alternatively, cook in a pressure cooker.

  2. LIME MARINATED CUCUMBERS

    • Combine the sliced cucumbers, radishes, mint leaves and lime juice. Season to taste with salt.

  3. TO SERVE

    • Once tender, shred the BBQ beef. Steam the bao buns and build by adding BBQ Beef with sauce and lime-marinated cucumbers. Garnish with a drizzle of Hellmann’s Spicy Mayo, roasted sesame seeds, and scallions. Serve 2 buns per portion.
