Best Instant Pot Short Ribs Recipe Ever...

[@suerainey9250]

If you put meat in a hot pan and then try to move it immediately, it will stick. It comes loose easier after the meat gets a crust.

[@santoventura311]

heat pan first drop oil food no stick

[@Allensanity]

Also letting your meat come up to room temperature helps

[@Dirtyboxer1]

Yep. It's just like searing a steak. Put it in the hot pan and leave it until it releases.

[@toordog1753]

@@Allensanity if you bring your food up to room temp before cooking it has a harder time absorbing the flavors of the spices and liquids. A trick we do in cooking is keep it cold as you can, just like you would with a good steak.

[@torontoknightking2391]

I was just going to say that myself!

[@khadijahsanders6964]

Omg I made it and it’s so delicious, thank u so much for helping me with sauce idea . I did substitute the red wine for tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, added my own 5 Chinese seasons , Rosemary , barbecue sauce, hoisin sauce and 1 star. My son who never eats steak loved it ..

[@churchmouse2540]

Sue Rainey is correct. Oil is just a conductor of heat. The meat sticks to the metal because the meat protein molecule has a sulfur atom that is aggressively attracted to the metal atoms in the pan. If you leave it stuck until the bottom caramelizes to a golden brown it will be easier to release from the bottom. Great dish. Hope to try it soon. Thanks for the cool post.

[@Shannyfrizz]

first time doing short ribs in the IP, I was skeptical because I have a tried and true oven method, but wanted try. they came out awesome!! I used my own recipe, but this one-pot method and loved the way they turned out!! Thank you!!

[@gardenfork]

Great to hear Shanny , thx!

[@JakobNoone]

Good methodology and timing! I used it and a not-so-stellar set of ribs turned out great. Thanks for sharing.

[@hawaiihaolematt]

its a good night when I come back to this video. Ive almost got the recipe down after maybe a half dozen times watching, but I may always play it anyways. Thanks and cheers 🍷

[@mekiamonroe4289]

I actually loved your humor in making this awesome meal! We need more comfort recipe videos “great job” I’m gonna try this!

I’m doing a new vid with the IP soon. Thx!

[@BalbinaSantana]

Thank you so much!! This is the second time I follow YOUR instructions and they taste incredible!!!! I love them!!!!

[@BalbinaSantana]

Im back here 4 years later and it's still my favorite short rib recipe! thank you!

[@natandsarasgran]

Regarding amount of oil, I totally agree with you, Eric. It’s been my experience too that you always need more oil for browning than prescribed in the recipe. I also like your idea of the fat separator for reintroducing liquid back into the pot. Thanks.

[@claytonjuan]

I'm making it right now. The weather is hot today in SF (89 F / 32 C) and I still want hot short ribs. Following you following Amy + Jacky's IP short ribs recipe is a breeze-which is what I am praying for right now.

[@FlannelAcres]

I think I will try this with country style ribs, which go on sale frequently here. Similar size hunks of meat, so should work just as well. Side note: I think it's okay if the meat sticks initially, as it's part of the searing and the little stuck bits will be deglazed anyway. :-) Hope you are having a fun holiday season! Thanks for the fun videos!

[@mariabalcorta362]

My first time cooking this came out really really good!! On top of some mashed potatoes. 👌 Thank you for sharing and explaining ☺️

[@sherryn39455]

It’s sticking because you’re not suppose to move it until it is browned and it will let go easily

[@danmartin5504]

I was just getting to type the same advice.

[@brandondavis3163]

Exactly. "What went wrong here? You need to let a crust develop, at which point it releases from the pan.

"This dish calls for a lot of garlic" = Instant subscribe!

[@gardenfork]

Yeah!

[@SA-ru1ps]

Love your personality! Keep up the fun videos

[@Gamer0900]

With the oil and the sticking ribs, your way works great! But if anyone is wondering: when the ribs stick to the bottom of the pot, just wait...and they will release when browned. Uses less oil this way.

[@yvonnesiber9803]

I also mess up recipes, omit, wrong order, whatever, usually the recipe turns out tasty & okay. I'm gonna try this tonight. I have a pkg of several short ribs, I'd been looking for some way to cook them quickly. Thank you for sharing!

[@tcatzmeow]

Making this now, my house smells amazing, thanks!

[@mariamrahman7132]

I agree with you on the oil

[@WaterGirl49]

I'm keto so I use bacon drippings .. amazing flavor :)

[@danrousseau9333]

used pork belly fat left over from yesterday, bnls shortribs were awesome used a red merlot for wine

[@cgorham6333]

Im keto too. Love bacon drippings

[@jgfunk]

I save bacon drippings for same reason. Great flavor

[@mitchramer1523]

Really enjoyed your video! Just wanted to say awesome work!

[@TheBekker_]

One pot dishes are the best! especially when you hate washing up :P About your sticking issue. You wanna let them sit and then they should let go when they formed a good caramelization :) At least thats what i usually do when i use non-nonstick pans for steaks n stuff :P

[@gardenfork]

Good to know Christian, i realized the bottom of the pot in this instant pot is curved, with the center higher than the sides. thx! eric.

[@joelzdepski9884]

for releasing pressure on my instant pot I put it on my stove too so I can vent through the fume hood. I take a big cast iron skillet, and turn it upside down on the cook top. It gives a nice "flat" surface to put the instant pot on, and you won't worry if a burner was used recently, or the legs falling between and the pot not being level.

[@TalkSickOne420]

1:45 the kids call it a "hack" nowadays lol cheers brother! Dope recipe 🔥

[@matsteel2292]

They look delicious going to try them tonight!

[@goddsontour]

Great video. Are they really that tender? I'll give it a go. If they stick when browning, it is usually because the oil is not hot enough.

[@fedbeast8094]

This was greatly made! Gotta try it! Keep up the good work!!!

[@rhodabailey8852]

Looks good

[@ronl8495]

You’re right about the oil! 😎

[@docohm50]

Try to use kosher salt. After pulling salted meat from fridge take paper towels and wipe the meat dry. Dry meat means more of that desired crust. Don't move the meat in the oil, it will release once the crust forms. Cool video!

[@AboM7mmad]

Excellent.. Thanks

[@jamesgoacher2433]

That looked really tasty. I agree about the oil measurement. Got to get me one of those oil separator thingies.

[@gardenfork]

Good timing. I just came in from shredding cardboard for garden mulch while listing to your chemicals podcast. Thank you, Eric, for bringing some rationality to the never ending drumbeat of fear mongering that runs amok online. And as for the oil, don't worry about it; there's a lot more fat that renders from those ribs.

[@gardenfork]

Tip: ditch that canola oil and go with either olive oil, coconut oil, or even ghee if you want some buttery flavor.

[@brandensoutdoorb-channel8084]

Don't need much oil because beef has enough fat. It won't stick if you wait long enough before turning. Add pepper before browning.

How many people were you able to serve with these portions? I want to make this for a family gathering. Please and thank you!!

[@bbredhead70]

Quick tip about beef. Let the oil heat up and make sure the pan is hot before putting your meat in. Then once you place the meat in, let it sit there a minute before you move it. The when it browns it will release the meat without tearing.

[@BlairKennedy-s1l]

Can you use red wine vinegar?

[@YevgeniyShcherbakov]

I'm used to cook middle-eastern dishes in the cauldron where you fry beef. The meat will stick for some time, but do not touch it. It will unstick ones it reaches a light crust. Some people try to get it unstuck and mess up, making things worse.

[@gardenfork]

Good to know that Yevgeniy, thanks for the tip, eric.

[@snowpony001]

Looks good! I’ve never made short ribs, going to have to give that a try. I agree with you on the amount of oil, but it seems like whenever I watch a video, they always say 2 TBS. but what they actually put in looks like a considerable amount more. As far as the sticking, the meat will usually release once it has browned, though I have had times where it didn’t but sometimes I think that I am too impatient. Thanks for another great video and recipe! Merry Christmas to you all.

[@gardenfork]

Same here! It sometimes still sticks. Thx!

[@KevinFelker]

Thanks for inviting me into your home! I learned two new tips to daily use of using an IP: There's a fat separator and also the lid fits into the pot. Definitely like the notion of getting out fat and then cooking sauce down.

I generally don't go for new-fangled kitchen gadgets, and have regularly used a traditional stove top pressure cooker for years. While re-modeling my kitchen (I was basically kitchen-less for almost a year) I got an Instant Pot to make soups, beans and such. I doubt very much that my old Fagor battleship cooker is going to see much use, having been converted to the joys of programable electric pressure/slow cookers!

TIP: Meat will stick in a hot pot if you move it immediately. The meat will AUTOMATICALLY release when it’s ready to turn.

[@uhn-uh-bash-id-lee-k-ran]

I always let my instant pot read hot before adding oil. I put fat side down meat first and don’t touch 2-3 min before turning.

[@SBakall2]

I cook with my instant pot regularly and I will tell you, I rarely do my sauteeing in it bec it takes so long. I do the saute portion in a frying pan and after it's done browning, I will transfer it into the instant pot to cook. Afterward, I deglaze the pan with some stock, wine or water and add in whatever bits are stuck to your frying pan. I find it faster and better bec my frying pan is bigger than the base of my 8qt instant pot. Drives me nuts to have to brown in batches in the instant pot.

[@gardenfork]

Wow Sophie, good info, had not considered that. Yeah, the browning takes a while, and i'm all for making it a bit faster. and i now have another good reason to open some wine 😉 any other tips? eric.

[@SBakall2]

I think a bottle of wine should be opened EVERY time you cook with your IP.. :D I also use my IP to do part of the cooking, then finish it in the broiler in the oven so it has "color".. For instance, I do ribs this way.. 12 mins in the IP, 10 min natural release then put on a sheet and sauce and broil for 12-15 mins.. The meat is tender and delish. I also use it to cook "hard to figure out" veggies.. I steam artichokes (10 mins then 5 mins natural release in IP) and spaghetti squash (7 mins, instant release). Fast and easy sides..

[@gardenfork]

I just read an article about cooking Kombucha squash in the Instant Pot! that is intriguing . thanks for all the info Sophie, appreciate you taking the time to write. ERic.

[@GaryBoyd02]

Eric you have to have faith the meat will self release when it is supposed to. This will also render out some fat and you won't need quite so much oil! You just have to have e faith. I would throw a splash of balsamic vinegar in with those ribs too!
