My husband and I were grocery shopping together the other day and getting excited about all the new recipes I would be creating in my Instant Pot. He is a huge meat fan and so he went to the meat section of the grocery store and picked out some beef short ribs. Beef short ribs are boneless ribs from the short portion of the rib bone of cattle. You can cook them easily in the slow cooker for about 6-8 hours on low.

I started by rubbing the ribs with a dry rub and then placing them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. After that I place them in the Instant Pot on top of the stainless steel metal trivet. I added a cup of water in the bottom of the pressure cooker and then set the pot to go for 28 minutes. After the cooking time was up I waited for the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes or so. Then I basted the ribs with barbecue sauce and set them under the broiler for 3 minutes.

For this Instant Pot (or Crockpot) Beef Short Ribs recipe I used this Instant Pot IP-LUX60 V3 Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker. It’s 6 quarts, so the same size as most slow cookers. It cost me around $80 on Amazon.
