Method
Place the beef and sugar in a resealable freezer bag. Shake to coat the beef with the brown sugar and allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Whisk together the light soy sauce, water, mirin, onion, Asian pear, garlic, sesame oil and beef fonds. Pour marinade into the freezer bag with the beef and seal. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
Drain the excess marinade from the beef. Cover with foil and cook for 2 hours in an oven preheated to 160˚C. Finish ribs by removing the foil cover and caramelising on a hot grill for 5 minutes. Cut into individual ribs or pull meat from the bone. If desired, baste with any leftover marinade before serving.
