Instant Pot Short Ribs
This recipe is a comfort food that I love serving with mashed potatoes on a cold/rainy day. It is pretty hands off with it being in the instant pot & it leaves the short ribs literally melting off the bone.
Ingredients:
2lb short ribs
2 tbsp beef tallow (or olive oil)
1 yellow onion
2 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup beef broth
salt & pepper to taste
3 minced garlic cloves
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp parsley
2 bay leaves
2 tbsp cornstarch (or flour)
1/4 cup water
Directions:
1) Cut your short ribs into smaller chunks & season with salt & pepper.
2) Turn the instant pot onto saute & add your oil. Saute the short ribs until browned on both sides. 2-3 mins on each side. Remove from the instant pot.
3) Add in the onion & garlic & saute for a couple mins. Add in the tomato paste & balsamic vinegar. Mix well.
4) Turn off the saute mode. Add in the beef broth, thyme, parsley, bay leaves, salt & pepper. Add the short ribs back into the instant pot.
5) Turn it onto high for 60 mins. Once it is done, release the steam. Remove the short ribs & remove bones & shred the meat.
6) Mix 1/4 cup of water with 2 tbsp cornstarch & mix well. Pour into the sauce mixture & mix well on saute for 3-5 mins or until the sauce is thick.
7) Add the short ribs back into the sauce & serve.
