Description

Instant Pot short ribs are the answer to all your short rib cravings, delivering fall-off-the-bone tenderness in a fraction of the time. This savory, rich recipe is perfect for weeknights or impressing guests with little effort.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4–5 Beef short ribs (bone-in or boneless)
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 Onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 Carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cups Beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup Red wine (optional)
  • 2–3 sprigs Thyme
  • 2 sprigs Rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Sear the Ribs:
    Season short ribs with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat olive oil in the Instant Pot on sauté mode. Brown short ribs in batches for 2-3 minutes per side. Set aside.
  2. Sauté the Veggies:
    Add onions, carrots, and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the Broth and Sauces:
    Pour in beef broth, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir to combine. Add thyme and rosemary.
  4. Pressure Cook the Ribs:
    Return short ribs to the pot. Close the lid, set the valve to “sealing,” and cook on high pressure for 45 minutes. Allow for a 10-15 minute natural release before quick releasing any remaining pressure.
  5. Thicken the Sauce (Optional):
    Remove short ribs and set aside. Set Instant Pot to sauté mode and simmer the sauce for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Optionally, mix cornstarch and water to thicken quickly.
  6. Serve and Enjoy:
    Serve short ribs with sauce spooned over the top, paired with mashed potatoes or rice.

Notes

  • Wine Substitute: If you prefer not to use wine, substitute with extra beef broth or balsamic vinegar.
  • Make Ahead: The ribs taste even better the next day! Store in the fridge and reheat when ready.
