INSTANT POT® SHORT RIBS



Instant Pot® Short Ribs image

It's easy to love fall-off-the-bone short ribs. The only problem with a traditional braising recipe is that it will be hours before eating happens. Make short ribs in an electric pressure cooker and eat these in half the time. The pressure inside the cooker transforms any liquid into hot steam, which goes deep into the meat and produce far more tender ribs than any other method would make. Less time and better? You bet.

Time 10h4m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (750 milliliter) bottle full-bodied red wine
4 pounds beef short ribs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 ½ cups chopped white onion
1 cup peeled and minced carrots
2 cloves garlic, sliced
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 quart chicken stock, or as needed
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Pour red wine over short ribs in a large bowl. Marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Remove ribs from marinade, saving marinade for later use. Season short ribs with salt and pepper. Coat 1 side of each short rib with flour.
  • Select the "Saute" setting on an electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®); add olive oil and butter. Cook and stir until butter melts, about 2 minutes. Add 3 short ribs to hot butter-oil mixture. Cook until bottom is browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer browned short ribs to a plate. Repeat cooking with remaining short ribs, reserving butter-oil mixture in the pot.
  • Cook and stir onion, carrots, garlic, and rosemary in the hot butter-oil mixture, scraping browned bits off the sides of pot, until onion is softened and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add reserved wine marinade; stir well. Simmer until wine is reduced by 1/2, about 10 minutes.
  • Return ribs to the pot; add chicken stock. Ensure the total volume does not go above the maximum fill line and that the bulk of the ribs are submerged. Seal the pressure cooker. Turn the venting knob on top to "Sealed", causing the floating valve to pop up.
  • Press the "Manual" button; set timer for 35 minutes. Tap the venting knob with a wooden spoon or spatula. Stand back; turn knob to point at "Vent." Remove lid when pressure is released, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the ribs to a plate and cover with aluminum foil, reserving sauce in the pot.
  • Turn the Instant Pot to "Saute". Simmer sauce until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Stir water and cornstarch together in a bowl until smooth; add to sauce in the pot. Cook for 3 minutes. Strain sauce and serve over ribs.

Categories     Meat

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 lbs meaty bone-in short ribs (about 6 pieces in 3-inch pieces)
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as necessary
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups dry red wine
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut crosswise in half
2 stalks celery, cut into thirds
2 leeks, whites and light green parts only, cut crosswise in 3-inch pieces
1 head garlic, cut in half crosswise
1 bay leaf
3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup low sodium beef broth
3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 1/2 lbs fingerling potatoes, scrubbed
chopped mixed herbs, for serving, such as parsley, dill, chives, thyme, and or cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat Instant Pot to saute setting.
  • Dry short ribs and season generously with salt. Add olive oil to pot and swirl to coat. When smoking, add short ribs, in batches, and saute until deeply golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Remove ribs to a plate as they finish and replenish or drain oil as necessary to maintain approximately 2 tablespoons per batch. Return all ribs to pot, sprinkle with flour and toss to coat.
  • Add wine and reduce by half, about 8 minutes, scraping bottom of pot to deglaze. (This can also be done in a skillet over high heat. Saute timing will be reduced. Transfer ribs and pan sauce to Instant Pot before proceeding.).
  • Arrange ribs in as even a layer as possible and disperse carrots, celery, leeks, garlic, bay leaf, and red pepper flakes throughout. Add broth, bring to a simmer, and top with fingerling potatoes. Season all vegetables generously with salt and pepper.
  • Top with lid and place on high pressure. Cook 45 minutes and then allow pressure to release naturally for 30 minutes. Uncover and remove ribs and vegetables with a slotted spoon. Tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Transfer cooking liquid to a fat separator or measuring cup and skim fat. If desired, return sauce to Instant Pot and reduce to desired consistency. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Serve ribs with potatoes, vegetables, and sauce, garnished with herbs.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality short ribs: Look for short ribs that are well-marbled and have a good amount of meat on them.
  • Brown the short ribs before cooking: This will help to develop flavor and add color.
  • Add plenty of aromatics to the pot: This will help to infuse the short ribs with flavor. Common aromatics include onions, garlic, carrots, and celery.
  • Use a good quality red wine: The wine will add depth of flavor to the short ribs.
  • Cook the short ribs on low pressure for a long time: This will help to tenderize the meat and make it fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Let the short ribs rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it even more flavorful.
  • Serve the short ribs with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and a side salad are all great options.

Conclusion:

Instant Pot short ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. The short ribs are cooked in a flavorful sauce until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. Serve them with your favorite sides for a complete meal that everyone will love.
