PRESSURE COOKER RED WINE-BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS RECIPE

Steps:

• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the pressure cooker. Return to the heat and add celery, carrot, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until browned, about 6 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute longer; lower heat at any point if the contents threaten to burn.
• Return short ribs to pressure cooker along with any accumulated juices, nestling them into braising liquids. Add thyme and bay leaves, then set pressure cooker to high pressure; cook for 45 minutes starting from when the cooker reaches high pressure.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, bring port to a very gentle simmer, regulating heat to maintain that simmer. Cook, uncovered, until reduced to a syrup-like consistency and about 1/2 cup (120ml) in volume, about 1 hour. Set aside.
• Depressurize pressure cooker and remove lid (we recommend allowing it to depressurize naturally as the fat from the beef can sometimes spray through the vent when allowed to depressurize rapidly, though it is possible to do a rapid depressurization if careful). Carefully remove short ribs from pressure cooker and transfer to a clean platter (they will be very tender, so the bones may slip out; try to hold them together as you transfer them). Tent ribs with foil.
• Skim accumulated fat from surface of braising liquid and discard. Strain braising liquid through a fine-mesh strainer set over a large heatproof bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible; discard vegetables and aromatics.
• Rinse out pressure cooker, then return strained braising liquid to it. Return to heat and bring to a gentle simmer, adjusting heat to maintain simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until braising liquid is reduced to 2 cups, about 1 hour; skim any foam that accumulates on the surface as needed. Add port wine reduction to braising liquids.
• The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and leave a trail when you drag your finger through it. If it's still a little thin, whisk in the cornstarch slurry and bring to a simmer until thickened slightly.

SLOW-COOKER SHORT RIB DINNER

Steps:

• Brown beef ribs in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned on all sides, turning frequently.
• Meanwhile, in 4 to 6-quart slow cooker, layer onion, tomato, carrots, potatoes and garlic.
• Spoon browned beef into slow cooker. Drain off any fat from skillet; add wine, 1/2 cup of the water and bouillon to skillet. Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle beef with salt, thyme, basil and pepper. Pour hot wine mixture over beef.
• Cover; cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours.
• About 15 minutes before serving, with slotted spoon, remove beef and vegetables from slow cooker; place in serving bowl. Skim off fat from cooking juices in slow cooker.
• In 4-cup glass measuring cup or medium bowl, blend remaining 1/2 cup water and flour until smooth. Pour juices from slow cooker into flour mixture; mix well. Microwave on HIGH for 3 to 4 minutes or until mixture boils, stirring once halfway through cooking. Pour sauce over beef and vegetables.

PRESSURE COOKER BEEF SHORT RIBS WITH RED WINE AND CHILE

Steps:

• If time permits, rub salt, coriander and pepper all over beef and let marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour, or, ideally, overnight.
• Set electric pressure cooker to sauté function and add oil (or use a large skillet on the stove over medium-high heat). Sear beef until evenly browned on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. You'll probably have to do this in batches. Transfer to a plate as the pieces brown. Or if using a skillet, transfer them to pressure cooker.
• Add leeks, fennel and pinch of salt to hot pan and cook until soft, about 8 minutes, then add garlic, chile powder and tomato paste; cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in wine. Add prunes and beef (or add prunes and fennel-wine mixture to the meat in the pot).
• Cover, then cook for 35 minutes on high pressure. Manually release pressure. If sauce seems thin, pull out beef pieces and reduce sauce using sauté function. Serve with fennel fronds or scallions, or both, for garnish.
