Instant Pot Short Ribs
Equipment
- Instant Pot or Electric Pressure Cooker
Ingredients
- 4 pounds beef short ribs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and black pepper (for seasoning beef)
- 1 large onion (chopped)
- 4-6 cloves chopped garlic
- 16 ounces lager beer
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons beef base or bouillon
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon ground ancho chili
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground pasilla chili
- 1 teaspoon ground chipotle chili
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1-1/2 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Season beef with salt and pepper, then sear to brown in oil along with the onion, either using a skillet or the sear function of the instant pot. With the amount of beef, I find it faster in the skillet.
- Stir remaining ingredients (except cornstarch) and pour over the ribs in the pot.
- Seal the lid and cook on manual/high for 45 minutes.
- Use the quick release and do not remove lid before the steam subsides.
- Remove ribs and skim any fat from the top of the sauce.
- Mix a cornstarch slurry of 3 tablespoons starch with 1/2 cup cold water.
- Stir into the sauce and set the cooker to sear, stirring sauce until it thickens up.
- Serve the ribs over corn polenta, mashed potatoes, rice, etc. Polenta is shown in photos.
