I cut my short ribs into individual pieces with one bone per piece.
Just put them all in a bowl large enough to mix them all
Take some fresh basil, I am using Thai basil here
Some green onions
Some fresh mint
And fresh oregano, this is not a typical Vietnamese herb, but I have some growing, so I used it.
I just rough chop it all put all the marinade ingredients in a blender, and blend it up
Pour the marinade in the meat, mix it all up. I just use my hands.
Put it all in a container. I like to let it set overnight. Is there a minimum, I don't know for sure, I always make this a day ahead.
Preheat oven to 400F
Heat about 3/4 cup of water in a pan to boil. Carefully place your ribs into the water, bring back to a boil, about 8 minutes. This will render some of the fat, set the marinade and rinse some off. The marinade will burn in the oven, so having it fully flavored and fat reduced is a good thing.
Pull each out leaving as much marinade behind as possible. I just put them on a foil lined sheet pan.
Bake 20-30 minutes until done to your liking. These were 30 minutes.
Serve
