Succulent Beef Short Ribs

By:

Ingredients
  • 2 lbs beef short ribs
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 1 shallot, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup red wine
  • 5 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Instructions
  • Season the sort ribs with salt and pepper. Add olive oil and butter to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the Sauté function.
  • When oil gets hot and butter melts, brown the meat on both sides, 6 minutes per side. Meat will not be cooked through. Do not crowd the pot--you may have to work in batches. Transfer browned meat to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil.
  • Add carrot, shallot and garlic to the pot and sauté until shallots begin to brown, 2-3 minutes. Add wine to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Put the meat back into to the pot, turning once to coat. Top with thyme sprigs.
  • Turn the pot off by selecting Cancel, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
  • Using the display panel select the Manual or Pressure Cook function. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 45 minutes.
  • When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick release the remaining pressure.
  • Carefully remove the meat from the pot to a serving plate and cover loosely with foil. Using a wide spoon or a fat separator, skim off most of the fat in the remaining liquid and discard.
  • Turn the pot off by selecting Cancel, then select Sauté. Mix in balsamic vinegar and cook and stir until sauce is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Discard thyme sprigs.
  • Serve beef drizzled with sauce.
Notes
  • The Manual and Pressure Cook buttons are interchangeable.
