Instant Pot Braised Short Ribs With Fingerlings Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Pour red wine over short ribs in a large bowl. Marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
• Remove ribs from marinade, saving marinade for later use. Season short ribs with salt and pepper. Coat 1 side of each short rib with flour.
• Select the "Saute" setting on an electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®); add olive oil and butter. Cook and stir until butter melts, about 2 minutes. Add 3 short ribs to hot butter-oil mixture. Cook until bottom is browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer browned short ribs to a plate. Repeat cooking with remaining short ribs, reserving butter-oil mixture in the pot.
• Cook and stir onion, carrots, garlic, and rosemary in the hot butter-oil mixture, scraping browned bits off the sides of pot, until onion is softened and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add reserved wine marinade; stir well. Simmer until wine is reduced by 1/2, about 10 minutes.
• Return ribs to the pot; add chicken stock. Ensure the total volume does not go above the maximum fill line and that the bulk of the ribs are submerged. Seal the pressure cooker. Turn the venting knob on top to "Sealed", causing the floating valve to pop up.
• Press the "Manual" button; set timer for 35 minutes. Tap the venting knob with a wooden spoon or spatula. Stand back; turn knob to point at "Vent." Remove lid when pressure is released, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the ribs to a plate and cover with aluminum foil, reserving sauce in the pot.
• Turn the Instant Pot to "Saute". Simmer sauce until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Stir water and cornstarch together in a bowl until smooth; add to sauce in the pot. Cook for 3 minutes. Strain sauce and serve over ribs.

Steps:

• Combine the paprika, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper in a large bowl. Add the short ribs to the bowl, rub the spice mixture all over and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Set a 6-quart Instant Pot® to high saute (see Cook's Note) and add 2 tablespoons of the oil once it is hot. Working in batches, sear all 4 sides of each short rib, about 2 minutes per side. Set the short ribs aside on a plate.
• With the pot still on high saute, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to scrape up bits on the bottom, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and garlic and cook until the tomato paste is deeply toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cola, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves and 1/2 cup of the beef broth and stir to combine. Put the ribs back into the pot along with any juices on the plate and turn to coat with the liquid. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 45 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete. Careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid and transfer the short ribs to a large plate.
• Use a ladle to skim any excess fat off the top of the liquid and then turn the pot back to high saute. While the liquid begins to simmer, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of beef broth with the cornstarch in a small bowl to make a slurry. Whisk in the slurry and cook, whisking intermittently, until the sauce is reduced and thickened to a syrup-like consistency, 15 to 20 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and transfer the short ribs back to the pot to coat with the sauce. Serve the short ribs hot with the sauce over mashed potatoes, polenta or rice, if using.

Steps:

• Preheat Instant Pot to saute setting.
• Dry short ribs and season generously with salt. Add olive oil to pot and swirl to coat. When smoking, add short ribs, in batches, and saute until deeply golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
• Remove ribs to a plate as they finish and replenish or drain oil as necessary to maintain approximately 2 tablespoons per batch. Return all ribs to pot, sprinkle with flour and toss to coat.
• Add wine and reduce by half, about 8 minutes, scraping bottom of pot to deglaze. (This can also be done in a skillet over high heat. Saute timing will be reduced. Transfer ribs and pan sauce to Instant Pot before proceeding.).
• Arrange ribs in as even a layer as possible and disperse carrots, celery, leeks, garlic, bay leaf, and red pepper flakes throughout. Add broth, bring to a simmer, and top with fingerling potatoes. Season all vegetables generously with salt and pepper.
• Top with lid and place on high pressure. Cook 45 minutes and then allow pressure to release naturally for 30 minutes. Uncover and remove ribs and vegetables with a slotted spoon. Tent with foil to keep warm.
• Transfer cooking liquid to a fat separator or measuring cup and skim fat. If desired, return sauce to Instant Pot and reduce to desired consistency. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
• Serve ribs with potatoes, vegetables, and sauce, garnished with herbs.
