Instant Pot Gochujang Glazed Short Ribs Recipes

INSTANT POT KOREAN STYLE SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Whisk together the soy sauce, gochujang, ginger, brown sugar, pear, garlic, 2 tablespoons sesame oil and 1/4 cup water in a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Place the short ribs on top and follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 25 minutes (see Cook's Note). After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to a large bowl, then cover and set aside.
• Set the pot to saute on high for 30 minutes and let reduce until the liquid is thick and glazy, about 15 minutes (about 1/2 cup of sauce will remain). Set the pot to off and transfer the reduced sauce to the meat, then toss to coat.
• Meanwhile, toss the scallions, cucumber, rice vinegar, gochugaru, sesame seeds, granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining tablespoon sesame oil in a medium bowl and cover and chill until ready to serve.
• For charred short ribs (optional): Position an oven rack as high as it can go in the oven and preheat the broiler to high. Transfer the glazed ribs to a rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and broil until lightly charred on both sides, about 1 minute per side.
• Serve the ribs over steamed rice topped with the pickled cucumbers, additional scallions and sesame seeds.

KOREAN GOCHUJANG STICKY BONELESS BEEF SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a cooling rack inside; set aside. Place your oven rack to the upper third tray.
• In a large bowl whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, chili flakes, Gochujang, honey, garlic, and ginger. Place your short ribs in the bowl and gently toss/stir to coat all of the meat. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. If you're in a hurry you can skip this part and dump it all into the Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker.
• Close the lid on your IP, set the cooking time to 35 minutes/High pressure. When the time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally (15 minutes).
• With tongs, carefully (they will be fall-apart soft!) remove the ribs to the rimmed baking sheet and set the IP to sauté or brown function as you'll need to thicken up the sauce. Depending on how watery your ribs were your sauce can take 10-25 minutes to get to a thickened state. Just stir often to not burn. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. Once it gets to that state, remove it from the pot and place in a container to use for basting.
• Once the sauce is thickened, turn the oven on to broil. Slather the one side of the ribs with the thickened sauce and broil just for a minute as you want to slightly char the sauce but not burn it. Remove from the oven, flip, baste and return to the broiler for another minute.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Store the remaining sauce in the fridge for up to a week.

INSTANT POT GOCHUJANG GLAZED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper and place them in the instant pot. Add in 1 tbsp of the gochujang and 1 cup of water. Cook on high pressure for 35 mins and natural release for 15 minutes.
• While the ribs are cooking, make the glaze. Whisk together the remaining gochujang, honey, sesame oil and water. Set aside.
• Move the ribs to a baking sheet, careful not to break up the tender meat. Brush with gochujang glaze and broil in the oven for 5-7 minutes Rotate them as needed.
• Serve with rice and chopped green onions.

INSTANT POT® GALBI (KOREAN-STYLE SHORT RIBS)

Steps:

• Soak ribs in a large bowl of water for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, combine Asian pear, onion, garlic, and ginger in a blender or food processor; puree until smooth. Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl. Add 3/4 cup soy sauce, rice wine, water, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and pepper and mix to create the sauce.
• Drain ribs and dry them well. Trim off excess fat. Place ribs in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and add carrots and radishes. Pour Asian pear sauce on top. Close and lock the lid. Select Meat function according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 35 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Transfer meat and vegetables to a plate and set aside.
• Select the Saute function on your Instant Pot®. Stir in remaining soy sauce, remaining sesame oil, and white sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar has melted and sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Return ribs and vegetables to the pot to get nice and saucy.
• Garnish ribs and vegetables with green onions and sesame seeds.

INSTANT POT® SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Pour red wine over short ribs in a large bowl. Marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
• Remove ribs from marinade, saving marinade for later use. Season short ribs with salt and pepper. Coat 1 side of each short rib with flour.
• Select the "Saute" setting on an electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®); add olive oil and butter. Cook and stir until butter melts, about 2 minutes. Add 3 short ribs to hot butter-oil mixture. Cook until bottom is browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer browned short ribs to a plate. Repeat cooking with remaining short ribs, reserving butter-oil mixture in the pot.
• Cook and stir onion, carrots, garlic, and rosemary in the hot butter-oil mixture, scraping browned bits off the sides of pot, until onion is softened and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add reserved wine marinade; stir well. Simmer until wine is reduced by 1/2, about 10 minutes.
• Return ribs to the pot; add chicken stock. Ensure the total volume does not go above the maximum fill line and that the bulk of the ribs are submerged. Seal the pressure cooker. Turn the venting knob on top to "Sealed", causing the floating valve to pop up.
• Press the "Manual" button; set timer for 35 minutes. Tap the venting knob with a wooden spoon or spatula. Stand back; turn knob to point at "Vent." Remove lid when pressure is released, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the ribs to a plate and cover with aluminum foil, reserving sauce in the pot.
• Turn the Instant Pot to "Saute". Simmer sauce until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Stir water and cornstarch together in a bowl until smooth; add to sauce in the pot. Cook for 3 minutes. Strain sauce and serve over ribs.
