🥘Ingredients

For the Short Ribs

2 lbs bone-in short ribs, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil

For the Braising Liquid

1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup dry red wine
1 cup beef broth
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves

👨‍🍳Directions

1Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper.
2Heat olive oil in the pressure cooker set to sauté mode (or in a large skillet over medium-high heat).
3Brown the ribs in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, until a deep brown crust forms.
4Transfer the browned ribs to a plate and set aside.
5Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
6Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
7Pour in the red wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
8Add the beef broth, tomato paste, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves.
9Return the short ribs to the pot, nestling them into the liquid.
10Close the lid and set the pressure cooker to high pressure for 25 minutes.
11The ribs should be fork-tender when done.
12Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully quick-release any remaining steam.
13Remove the short ribs to a serving platter and discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaves.
14If desired, simmer the braising liquid on sauté mode for 5-7 minutes to thicken into a sauce.
15Serve the ribs with the sauce spooned over the top.
