Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the beef ribs (cut into smaller pieces if needed), the onion cut into quarters, and the two crushed garlic cloves. Add 4 tablespoons of soy sauce. Cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour until the ribs are tender.

After 1 hour, remove the ribs and place them in a colander to drain. Heat oil in a skillet and add the ribs. Cook until browned on all sides.

Once browned, add ketchup and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Turn the ribs to coat them in the sauce and sugar. Cook for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sauce is well incorporated. Enjoy!
