Instant Pot Braised Short Ribs Recipe

Red Wine Braised Short Ribs Recipe

The Instant Pot is life. Seriously y’all. I use my Instant Pot almost every night for dinner. It speeds up my cooking time and my meat always just falls right off the bone. It’s seriously the best.

The other night, we made Instant Pot Braised Short Ribs for dinner. It takes some preparation time (gathering the ingredients, cooking the red wine sauce), but it’s well-worth the effort. The short ribs are pressure cooked for 45 minutes with a 15 minute natural release, and when you eat them, they will literally fall off the bone. They’re so tender and full of red wine flavor. It’s delicious. Tastes amazing over homemade mashed potatoes too.

Making this recipe is super simple. I had about 1 pound of short ribs. I browned them in the Instant Pot. Then, I sautéed garlic, onions, celery, carrots, and mushrooms until they were browned. Deglaze with red wine (dry is best), chicken stock (but you can also use beef stock), balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Then pressure cooked for 45 minutes. The result is amazing.
