When chefs exchange recipes, it usually looks something like:
- sear short ribs
- deglaze pan with red wine, reduce
- add in beef broth, tomato paste, garlic and onion
- braise until tender
No measurements, no heat levels, no cook times, no specific equipment given.
Chefs understand that all of those things vary substantially, and the specifics should be based on the preferences and instincts of the person doing the cooking. Great chefs cook based on taste, touch, sight, sound, and feel....not instructions in a recipe.
This might sound intimidating if you're used to following recipes, but if you learn some solid fundamentals and focus on techniques, it's actually a much better way to cook. Less stressful, more enjoyable, and much more creative.

Braised meat should be a staple in everyone’s home cooking repertoire.
An easy, repeatable method that offers room for infinite customization.
Take any slow-cooking cut. Sear it on the outside, cover it with a braising liquid, and slow cook.
You can experiment with different braising liquids (water, broth, wine, dashi, etc) plus different additions to the braising liquid (tomatoes, chiles, etc), different cuts of meat, different aromatics and vegetables.
For this one I did beef shanks with beef broth, chojang, and ssamjang. 4 replies
