Equipment

  • pressure cooker
  • Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs Beef Short Ribs
  • 2 cups diced onions
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 2-3 carrots, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper
  • 1 tbsp dried thyme
  • 6 tbsp flour, divided
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 cups mushrooms, quartered about a dozen or so

Instructions

  • Set pressure cooker to sauté. Pat dry Beef Short Ribs and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper (I like lots of pepper!) Dust ribs in 3 tbsp flour. Drizzle olive oil into the pressure cooker and place ribs, a single layer at a time into the pressure cooker to brown. This will take 4-5 minutes per side. Make sure to turn them and brown both sides. And do not crowd them in the pot. You may have to brown in batches.
  • Remove browned Beef Short Ribs to a plate and set aside. Add garlic and stir constantly to prevent burning for 1 minute. Add onions, carrots, mushrooms, thyme, and additional salt and pepper to taste and allow them to soften, stirring occasionally. It will also take 5-6 minutes. Add Beef Short Ribs back to the pot. Add beef broth. Add the pressure cooker lid and seal it.
  • Cook ribs on high pressure for 35 minutes. When they are finished cooking, release the pressure and let the ribs sit for 5-6 minutes or until pressure is normal. Open carefully!
  • Remove short ribs to a plate. (You may need a slotted spoon because they will be very tender.) Turn pot to saute. Mix 3 tbsp flour with 1/4 cup beef broth and stir until smooth. Stir into the pot and heat and stir until gravy is thickened.
  • Return the ribs to the pot to coat in gravy. Serve hot over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
