Cola Braised Instant Pot Beef Short Ribs Recipes

COLA BRAISED INSTANT POT BEEF SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Mix the salt, paprika, pepper, cayenne and cumin in a bowl.
• Cut the boneless short ribs into 4" to 6" pieces and coat with the spice rub from step one.
• Add 2 TB of olive oil to your Instant Pot and set it to "high" or "more" saute.
• When the display reads "HOT", brown the ribs in batches so that you don't overcrowd the pot. It should take about 2 minutes per side to get a nice sear on the meat.
• Remove the meat from the Instant Pot and add the garlic and onions. Saute until soft -- about 4 minutes.
• Add the soda, coconut aminos and Worcestershire sauce to the Instant Pot, and using a spoon or rubber tongs, scrape the brown crusty fond off the bottom of the pot so that it dissolves into your sauce.
• Add the beef to sauce, turning to coat each piece. Put the lid on the Instant Pot, and set to pressure cook for 30 minutes. Once the 30 minutes is up, allow the Instant Pot to do a "natural release" for 15 minutes.
• Remove the beef from the Instant Pot and using an immersion blender, blend in the xanthan gum until the sauce is smooth and there are no clumps.
• Return the meat to the sauce, and using 2 forks, shred the meat into bite sized chunks.
• Serve over mashed cauliflower.
