Equipment

Ingredients
  

Short Ribs

  • 4-5 pounds Beef Short Ribs 2 ½"-3" thick (bone-in or boneless)
  • 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
  • Salt season to taste
  • Black Pepper season to taste
  • 1 cup Beef Broth reduced-sodium

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons Gochujang Paste
  • 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Honey
  • 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Minced Ginger
  • 3 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Sesame Seed Oil

Toppings

  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
  • 2 Stalks Green Onion thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • Season short ribs liberally with salt and pepper on all sides. Set Instant Pot to Saute setting and add a teaspoon of olive oil. Allow it to get hot before adding ribs. Brown the short ribs on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. You will likely need to cook them in batches and then set aside.
  • While the short ribs are browning, mix together gochujang paste, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame seed oil in a medium-sized bowl and set aside. Leave a ¼ cup of the sauce mixture aside for after it is done cooking.
  • Pour beef broth into the Instant Pot and scrape up any caramelized pieces left from the beef cooking. Place the short ribs in the broth. Pour all but a ¼ cup of the sauce mixture over the short ribs. Place the lid on the Instant Pot with the vent closed, set it to the Meat/Stew setting, and adjust to 'more' (or high.)
    For bone-in ribs:
    Set the timer for 45 minutes. After it is done cooking, allow it to naturally release for 10 minutes and then open the vent.
    For boneless ribs:
    Set the timer for 40 minutes with a 10-minute natural release.
  • While it cooks, add sesame seeds to a shallow dish and cook in the microwave at 1-minute intervals. Stir and continue cooking until lightly browned, then set aside.
  • Remove the short ribs from the Instant Pot and pour the remaining ¼ cup of sauce over them. Top with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
