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.

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.

These short ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and the plum sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I served them over jasmine rice and it was a hit with my family.
