Preparación

1. 1

   --- For the Korean beef: ---

2. 2

   Add the kiwi, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, rice vinegar and black pepper to a blender and blend until smooth. Add the marinade and the meat to a sealed container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.

3. 3

   Preheat oven to 300°F (150ºC). Add the marinade to a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven with a cover. Put the pot over high heat and bring to a boil, then add 1 cup of water and the ribs to the pot bone side up and remove from heat.

4. 4

   Cover the pot, transfer to oven, and let slowly braise until the ribs are fork-tender, about 2 ½ hours. Remove the ribs from the marinade, and place on a cutting board. When cool to the touch, shred the meat using two forks or with your fingers. Move the shredded meat to a large bowl.

5. 5

   In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, simmer the remaining marinade until it has thickened and reduced, about 20 minutes. Skim off any fat and discard. Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the sauce and set aside. Ladle ¼ cup of the sauce onto the shredded meat and gently mix. Top with green onions and set aside.

   --- For the broccoli slaw: ---

7. 7

   Shred the broccoli and carrots in a food processor using the grater disk (the attachment with the holes, not the blade. In a medium bowl combine shredded broccoli, carrots, cabbage, rice vinegar, mirin, salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
