Instant pot braised short ribs recipe. Looking for an easy, one-pot meal? These braised short ribs are perfect for the fall season. In the past, I’ve used this recipe for lamb chops too. That’s right, it works with any kind of red meat! It works great with short ribs and beef is especially perfect!
The flavors in my recipe are simple but satisfying, and these instant pot ribs are made even better with a little secret ingredient. I guarantee that these ribs will be the best you’ve ever had.
So what’s my secret ingredient?
Bourbon whiskey is a type of alcohol that is made with corn. You might also like scotch if you prefer it, but bourbon is my favorite. I think the flavor could be slightly milder, but it really brings depth to flavor to these instant pot short ribs
Can I skip the alcohol?
The alcohol in this recipe serves to deglaze and that leads to a lot of it evaporating.
However, you can cook it longer before adding the other liquids to get it completely alcohol-free. You can also add less bourbon for a similar taste.
Why do you need a pressure cooker to make the ribs?
A pressure cooker is a pot that cooks food under high pressure. It is a must-have for cooking ribs as it helps to tenderize the meat. The ribs are cooked in a sauce made of tomato paste, brown sugar, molasses, and other spices. The pressure cooker helps to cook the ribs quickly and evenly.
What are the health benefits of short ribs?
Short ribs are a type of meat cut from the rib section of beef or veal. They are used in several cuisines around the world, but they are especially popular in Asian countries.
The health benefits of short ribs include being a good source of protein and iron, which helps to keep your blood healthy. Short ribs also contain zinc, which helps to maintain your immune system and can help with anemia.
