Beef Short Ribs

I’m absolutely loving my InstantPot.

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs beef short ribs
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons coarse black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons minced garlic
• 3 carrots – cut into 1″ chunks
• 3 small potatoes cut into medium-sized chunks
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 half cup red wine
• 1 cup broth (beef, chicken or veggie)

Here is what I did.

1. Rinse and pat dry the ribs, cut off excess fat and discard
2. Season the ribs with the salt and pepper
3. Turn on the instant pot to saute add the oil. Get it very hot
4. Brown the ribs for 6-7 minutes on each side. Don’t overcrowd the pot. If you need to do it in batches to accommodate all the ribs, do that.
5. Transfer the browned ribs to a plate
6. Add garlic and cook until slightly brown
7. Drop in the carrots, onion, potatoes, and thyme. Sautee until slightly softened.
8. Add the wine and the broth and deglaze the pot by scraping all of the bits at the bottom of the pot
9. Put the ribs back in
10. Change the setting to manual and cook for 40 minutes at high pressure
11. When done, release the steam. Then, uncover the pot.
12. Serve as is, with mashed potatoes, rice, noodles or veggies.
