Those were done in a pressure cooker. I’d tried about a dozen different recipes the traditional way until I tried this.

Cuts six hours down to forty minutes, with better results.

When you say "better"... what do you mean by that? There's something so satisfying about the hours-long braising process that i love. Seems like it would lack a true depth of flavor :noidea:

Any thoughts on how to cut through the richness and the fat?
How did you serve? I sprinkle a little parsley and grated lemon zest on the finished dish (per the recipe I use) and it seems to do the trick. Nothing too overpowering, just a little green and teensie bit of citrus to cut through.

Yes, I'm serious.

I'd made short ribs probably a half-dozen times or so, trying different recipes/tweaks and was never satisfied with the results until I put them in a pressure cooker.

Flavor was more intense and seem to be throughout the meat as well.

close, but no garlic... literally just chopped parsley and a teensie sprinkle of lemon zest (really, really fine - using the fine-toothed microplaner).

Sounds like witchcraft.

@SlinkyRedfoot What did you put in your sauce?

  • 1 large onion (chopped)
  • 2 shallots (chopped)
  • 2 large carrots (chopped)
  • 5 cloves of garlic (smashed)
  • 1 sprig of rosemary
  • 4-5 sprigs of parsley
  • 2 cups of good red wine (I used a Cab)
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Here's where I got the recipe.

Next time I make it, I think I'm going mix that recipe with another I have. Specifically, I'm going to season the meat with rosemary, thyme, s&p and refrigerate overnight.

I'll probably reduce pressure cook time by a few minutes, and make sure to leave enough time (30 minutes to be safe) to reduce the sauce - particularly if you plan to reduce it in the instapot.

Moxie reminded me about a recipe for short ribs that I had that called for a gremolata finish, which I'll probably do too.

¼ Cup Fresh Italian Parsley (finely chopped)

3 Tbs Lemon Zest

2 Garlic Cloves (minced)

1½ Tbs Fresh Rosemary (finely chopped)

1½ Tbs Fresh Thyme (finely chopped)

Chili tonight. I usually just find a basic chill recipe online, then add peppers to it. Added a couple serrano and pablano peppers, and soaked 3 habanero peppers during the cook.
You ever put chipotle's in adobo sauce in your chili?

Try it man. It spices it up quite nicely. I cooked a whole pot and used 3 TBS minced up....they got heat.
Next time I make some, I'll have to try to remember. Making some beef and veggie stew today.

This is basically like a braised short ribs recipe I do in a Dutch oven.

If you guys haven't had beef ribs this way you are missing out!

Yeah, that's how I'd done them in the past; braised in the oven. I prefer the results I'm getting from a pressure cooker.

That is good too, but variety is the spice of life.

Tis true. Last time I did braised short ribs ended up too much like pot roast.

While still good, not what I was going for.

I don't use our pressure cooker much, some food ends up too mushy, but have turned out few good dishes.

Wife uses it a lot for soup

I've been kicking around the idea of getting an instapot. May have to bite the bullet and try the method you posted.
