PRESSURE-COOKER SHORT RIBS



Pressure-Cooker Short Ribs image

We love the way the Instant Pot or pressure cooker promotes silky, falling-off-the-bone texture for braise-worthy cuts like short ribs. Here, the ribs are paired with an inspired combination of ingredients (miso paste, whole coriander seeds, and apricots) for a dish that's easy -- but memorable enough for special occasions. This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Pressure Cooker" (Clarkson Potter).

PRESSURE COOKER BEEF SHORT RIBS WITH RED WINE AND CHILE



Pressure Cooker Beef Short Ribs With Red Wine and Chile image

Prunes are the secret ingredient in this recipe. They practically disappear during cooking, leaving behind their complex sweetness. This recipe was meant for a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker, but to use a stovetop pressure cooker, just cook the ribs a few minutes less than you would if using an electric one. You could also bake this in a covered Dutch oven at 325 degrees for 3 hours. In any case, it is easiest to make the day before, chill it, then skim the fat off the top. Serve this with polenta or mashed potatoes.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, lunch, roasts, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 to 4 pounds bone-in beef short ribs
1 tablespoon olive oil or other fat (like bacon fat or duck fat), more as needed
3 leeks, whites only, chopped
2 large fennel bulbs, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chipotle chile powder
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup pitted prunes, diced
Fennel fronds or sliced scallions, or both, for serving

Steps:

  • If time permits, rub salt, coriander and pepper all over beef and let marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour, or, ideally, overnight.
  • Set electric pressure cooker to sauté function and add oil (or use a large skillet on the stove over medium-high heat). Sear beef until evenly browned on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. You'll probably have to do this in batches. Transfer to a plate as the pieces brown. Or if using a skillet, transfer them to pressure cooker.
  • Add leeks, fennel and pinch of salt to hot pan and cook until soft, about 8 minutes, then add garlic, chile powder and tomato paste; cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in wine. Add prunes and beef (or add prunes and fennel-wine mixture to the meat in the pot).
  • Cover, then cook for 35 minutes on high pressure. Manually release pressure. If sauce seems thin, pull out beef pieces and reduce sauce using sauté function. Serve with fennel fronds or scallions, or both, for garnish.

PRESSURE COOKER SHORT RIBS IN PLUM SAUCE



Pressure Cooker Short Ribs in Plum Sauce image

A pressure cooker can take an afternoon's project and turn it into a dinner-in-an-hour affair. Case in point: These short ribs, adapted from the cookbook author Lorna Sass, would have required a few hours on the stove. Here they can be made in a fraction of the time.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 pounds meaty short ribs, excess fat removed
1 1/2 cups chicken or beef broth
1 cup coarsely chopped leeks (green parts included) or onions
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons Japanese soy sauce
1 1/4 cups tightly packed pitted prunes
4 to 6 large Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and left whole
1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, for garnish

Steps:

  • Trim excess surface fat from the ribs. In a 6-quart or larger pressure cooker, combine broth, leeks and vinegar. Pour 2 tablespoons of soy sauce onto a large plate, and turn the meat in it to coat thoroughly.
  • Place meat in the cooker with any unabsorbed soy sauce. Scatter prunes around the sides; distribute the potatoes on top. Lock lid in place. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Reduce heat just enough to maintain high pressure. Cook for 30 minutes. Turn off heat and allow pressure to decrease naturally, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove lid, tilting it away from you to allow the steam to escape. Remove potatoes, and set aside. The ribs should be fork tender. If not, simmer with lid ajar until done. Transfer meat to a platter.
  • Strain the broth, and degrease in a fat separator or refrigerate overnight. Discard congealed fat. Return broth and solids to the cooker. To thicken the sauce and intensify the taste, boil over high heat, stirring often, until syrupy, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add more vinegar, if needed, to balance the sweetness and intensify the flavors. Stir in ginger to taste. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Quarter the potatoes, and return them and the meat to the cooker to reheat and coat with sauce. Transfer to a platter or individual plates, and garnish with scallions. Serve any extra sauce on the side.

Provided by Bren Herrera

Categories     Pressure Cooker     Instant Pot     Beef Rib     Beef     Chile Pepper     Cilantro     Red Wine     Jalapeño     Dinner

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 lb (1.4 kg) bone-in beef short ribs
1 tsp (6 g) kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp (7.5 g) ancho chile powder
2 tbsp (28 ml) basil garlic olive oil (see tip)
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup (8 g) chopped fresh cilantro
1 tsp (3 g) seeded and minced jalapeño pepper
1 cup (235 ml) vegetable broth
1/4 cup (60 g) dark brown sugar
1 tbsp (5 g) four-peppercorn blend, crushed
1/2 cup (120 ml) beef stock
1 cup (235 ml) red wine (I recommend a good Chilean variety)

Steps:

  • Rinse and pat dry the short ribs. Season with the salt, pepper, cumin and ancho chile powder. Heat the olive oil over high for the stovetop pressure cooker or use the browning setting for the electric pressure cooker.
  • Add the short ribs and brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. While the ribs are browning, make the sauce: Add the garlic, cilantro, jalapeño, vegetable broth, sugar and four-peppercorn blend to a food processor and blend for 1 minute, or until the cilantro has liquefied. Cover the ribs with the mixture, using a rubber spatula to scrape the processor. Pour in the beef stock and wine and stir. Cancel cooking for the electric cooker, and close the lid.
  • Stovetop Pressure Cooker: Set to high pressure (15 PSI) and set the timer for 35 minutes. Cook over high heat for 25 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook for the last 10 minutes.
  • Electric Pressure Cooker: Set to high pressure (10-12 PSI) and 40 minutes.
  • When done, remove from the heat or turn off the cooker and allow the pressure to release on its own (natural-release), about 12 minutes.
  • When all of the pressure is out, adjust for salt and remove the short ribs from the pot. Transfer to a serving platter. Cross-cut across several bones and into three parts or however many bones your ribs have.

Tips:

  • Choose short ribs that are meaty and well-marbled for the best flavor.
  • Brown the short ribs in a little oil before cooking to develop a rich, caramelized flavor.
  • Add a variety of vegetables and herbs to the pot for a flavorful broth.
  • Cook the short ribs on high pressure for 30 minutes, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Serve the short ribs with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, and a side of vegetables.

Conclusion:

Pressure cooker short ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give pressure cooker short ribs a try.
