Instant pot short ribs

Fall from the bone short ribs in a delicious tomato and beer sauce. Insanely good and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef short ribs 
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 white onions 
  • 1 can beer (12 fl oz)
  • ½ cup tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil 
  • 3 tablespoons mixed spices: oregano, thyme, paprika, chili flakes, parsley. 
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste

Instructions

Start by prepping the veggies: 

  1. Peel the onions and slice them thinly. 
  2. Peel the garlic cloves and press them with the garlic press. You can also mince them with the knife or grate them with a fine grater. 
  3. In the instant pot on the sautee mode on medium heat add the olive oil and the onions and garlic cloves. Sautee them for 10 minutes until golden and fragrant. Stir occasionally. 
  4. Add the short ribs to the pot to brown them for around 5 minutes. Add the salt and spices at this point. 
  5. Once the meat is browned add the tomato paste and the can of beer. Mix well. 
  6. Close the lid and pressure cook for 45 minutes on high pressure. 
  7. Let do a natural release for 20 minutes and then manually release any pressure left. 
  8. Serve over mashed potatoes

Notes

These short ribs can be done with any beer of your liking, or the one you have on hand, I’ve tried with several kinds, and all the time the results are amazing. With darker beers, the flavors will be a bit more intense but that’s about it. 

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days in a sealed container.
