Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a stockpot set over medium heat, combine mirin, sweet chili garlic sauce, water, brown sugar, agave nectar, and ginger.
  3. Add the beef ribs to the pot, ensuring they are well coated in the marinade.
  4. Raise the heat slightly until the mixture reaches a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 1¾ to 2 hours.
  6. Remove the pot from the oven and place the ribs on a serving platter.
  7. Return the pot with the remaining cooking liquid to medium heat and simmer for about 12-15 minutes to thicken.
  8. Stir in lime juice and soy sauce, then return the beef ribs to the pot, allowing them to heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  9. Plate the beef ribs, drizzling the thick glaze over the top and garnish with chives.
