Instant Pot Beef Short Ribs

Instant Pot beef short ribs are going to be your go-to meal! They’re so tender, infused with flavor and truly simple to whip together!

Jaryd always jokes whenever we go out to a restaurant with short ribs on the menu I can’t resist. They just call me and I can’t help but see them as the only option. It happens time and again without fail.

With the holiday season upon us, I couldn’t help but think of all those other special meals you eat that may not necessarily be the holiday dinner, but one that you want to be similarly special.

Maybe you get together with old friends, maybe family is in town for the holidays and you want to catch up over a home cooked dinner. It’s those in between holiday meals that can also be really special.

If you love beefy dinners, you have to try this Instant Pot Beef Stew or this Instant Pot Beef Broccoli + Sweet Potato Noodles! Looking for a fun side to serve alongside your Instant Pot beef short ribs? Try this Gruyere Cheese and Potato Pie or these Soft & Crispy Roasted Mini Potatoes!

So today, I wanted to share one of those recipes that you can cook up in a jiffy without missing out on any precious time with your loved ones. These short ribs are so juicy and tender and Swanson Beef Broth makes for the delicious base for the sauce. It adds a perfect undercurrent of flavor that doesn’t overpower but rather pulls it all together.

What I love about this recipe is it’s one of those meals that seems really intimidating and fancy but it’s so simple and approachable, especially since we’re making it in our Instant Pot! If you have an Instant Pot, great! This meal comes together in under an hour.

Add all the ingredients to the Instant Pot and set it to low for 6 – 8 hours. I mean does it really get any better than coming home from work to a house that smells delightful and dinner basically already made? No, I didn’t think so.

Ingredients for this short rib recipe

• beef broth
• bone-in short ribs
• onion
• carrots
• dry red wine
• coconut sugar (brown sugar works too)
• garlic cloves
• tomato paste
• thyme leaves
• salt
• ground pepper
• arrowroot flour (cornstarch works too)

How to Make Instant Pot Beef Short Ribs

Place the short ribs, onion, carrots, broth, wine, coconut sugar, garlic, tomato paste, thyme leaves, salt and pepper in your Instant Pot. Make sure the valve is set to sealing and set the Instant Pot on high for 40 minutes.

After it’s done cooking, vent the Instant Pot and allow the steam to release. You’ll know the meat is done cooking because the beef will pull away from the bone.

Scoop the meat and most of the veggies out and place in a separate bowl to the side. Remove and discard any leftover thyme leaf stems.

Turn the Instant Pot to sauté for 5 minutes. Add the arrowroot to the Instant Pot and whisk frequently for 10-15 minutes until the sauté thickens and reduces. Add the meat and veggies back to the Instant Pot and keep warm until ready to eat. Serve on top of mashed potatoes, or my favorite, cauliflower mash and garnish with fresh thyme leaves.

Enjoy!! xo
