Ice cream in a beef dish may sound strange, but the rich creaminess of ice cream and the sweetness gives simmered beef a depth that is hard to duplicate. I chose caramel flavor because caramel is often added to meat dishes in Vietnamese cuisine. In my dish caramel balances the heat from the chili verde. The chili verde in turn adds a tartness which balances the richness of ice cream. Short ribs is my favorite beef cut. I like to cook it until it almost falls apart and eat it preferably with plain steamed rice.

* The ice cream I used has 17g sugar in 1/2 cup.
