Recommended Equipment
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In the inner pot of the Instant Pot, combine the water, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, gochujang, apple, garlic, and ginger. Stir to blend. Layer the short ribs on top of the sauce mixture. You may need to cut them in half to fit.1/2 cup water | 1/2 cup soy sauce | 3 tbsp brown sugar | 4 tbsp toasted sesame oil | 2 tbsp gochujang | 1/4 cup grated apple | 3 cloves garlic | 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger | 3 pounds flanken-style beef short ribs
- Pressure Cook: Lock the lid in place and turn the steam valve to the sealing position. Select the manual or pressure-cook function (high pressure) and set the cook time to 20 minutes.* When the time is up, carefully turn the valve to the venting position to release the steam. Use a long utensil to turn the valve; the steam is hot! Cancel the pressure cook function.
- Finish the Dish: With a slotted spoon, remove the short ribs to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Skim off excess fat or put the liquids in a gravy separator to remove excess fat. Return the defatted liquids to the pot. Choose the Instant Pot sauté function and cook them for about 7 to 10 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced and concentrated.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the sauce mixture over the short ribs and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions.1 tbsp sesame seeds | 2 scallions
Notes
*If using English-style short ribs on the bone, increase the cooking time to 30 minutes.
If ribs aren’t as tender as you would like, pressure cook 5–10 minutes more.
