Ingredients
6 - 10 pieces (1116g) bone-in short ribs
6 cloves garlic
2 (300g) small onions, sliced
2 (170g) medium carrots, chopped
2 ribs (90g) celery
½ cup (125ml) red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon)
½ cup (125ml) unsalted chicken stock or good quality beef broth
2 tablespoons (30ml) balsamic vinegar
1 - 1.5 tablespoon (14-21g) brown sugar
1 tablespoon (15ml) light or regular soy sauce (not low sodium soy sauce)
1 tablespoon (15ml) fish sauce
1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
2 bay leaves
A pinch dried thyme
Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
Thickener:
2.5 tablespoons (22.5g) cornstarch
3 tablespoons (45ml) cold water
Instructions
1. Brown Short Ribs in Instant Pot: Heat up Instant Pot using Sauté More. Wait until it says HOT
(prevents short ribs from sticking to the pot). Add 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil in Instant Pot. Season
one side generously with salt and black pepper. Add in 5 pieces of short ribs, then brown each side
for 4 minutes. While one side is browning, season the other side with more salt and black pepper.
*Pro Tip: Avoid overcrowding by browning short ribs in batches.
2. Saute Onion & Garlic: Set aside the browned short ribs. Add in sliced onions, and saute until
soften (~ 3 minutes). Add in chopped garlic, and saute until fragrant (~30 seconds).
3. Saute Veggies & Spices: Add in chopped carrots, celery, a pinch of dried thyme, and 2 bay

leaves, then saute for 2 minutes.

4. Deglaze Instant Pot: Pour ½ cup (125ml) red wine in Instant Pot and deglaze by scrubbing the
flavorful brown bits off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Give it a quick mix. Let the
wine simmer for a minute to allow some of the alcohol to evaporate.
5. Pressure Cook Short Ribs: Add 1 tbsp (15ml) light soy sauce, 1 tbsp (15ml) fish sauce, 1-1.5
tbsp (14-21g) brown sugar, 2 tbsp (30ml) balsamic vinegar, and ½ cup (125ml) unsalted chicken
stock in Instant Pot. Carefully add in browned short ribs + meat juice.

If you are making mashed potatoes: Cut 3 - 4 potatoes in half, then place them in a stainless steel
bowl. Layer the bowl on top of the short ribs.
Then, pressure cook:
-With Potatoes: High Pressure 42 minutes + Natural Release 15 minutes
-No Potatoes: High Pressure 45 minutes + Natural Release 15 minutes
6. Optional - Make Mashed Potatoes: Drain & transfer the potatoes to a larger mixing bowl. Mash
the potatoes with a potato masher. Mix in 100ml whole milk and 1 – 2 tbsp (14g -28g) unsalted
butter. Season to taste with salt & pepper.
7. Thicken & Seasonings: Carefully set aside the short ribs. Mix 2.5 tbsp (22.5g) cornstarch and 3
tbsp (45ml) cold water together in a small mixing bowl. Bring the sauce to a simmer and add the
cornstarch mixture one third at a time to thicken the red wine sauce until desired thickness. Taste
and season with more salt, black pepper, and brown sugar if necessary (For reference: we added 3
large pinches of salt).
8. Serve Short Ribs: Carefully place the short ribs back in the sauce to keep them hot. Serve & be
prepared for your guests to beg for more of this deliciously beautiful creation!

Recipe Notes
Brown Sugar: be sure to adjust the sweetness level to your taste. Use 1 tbsp (14g) brown sugar for less
sweet; 1.5 tbsp (21g) brown sugar if you enjoy a sweeter sauce.
