Description
Make tender beef short ribs quickly using an electric pressure cooker.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs beef short ribs, bone-in
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup dry red wine (optional)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper.
- Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode. Add olive oil.
- Brown the short ribs on all sides in batches. Remove the ribs and set aside.
- Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and tomato paste; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Pour in the red wine (if using) and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it reduce slightly.
- Return the short ribs to the pot. Add the beef broth, thyme, and bay leaf.
- Secure the lid and set the valve to sealing.
- Cook on High Pressure for 45 minutes.
- Allow for a Natural Pressure Release for 15 minutes, then carefully quick release any remaining pressure.
- Remove the ribs. If you want a thicker sauce, use the Sauté function to reduce the remaining liquid until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve the short ribs with the sauce.
Notes
- For deeper flavor, sear the ribs in a separate skillet before pressure cooking.
- You can substitute water for the red wine if necessary.
