Ingredients
- 3 lbs. Beef Short Ribs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp minced fresh ginger or 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp minced fresh garlic or 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Place the rack into the insert of your pressure cooker and pour in 1 cup of water.
- In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, black pepper, and salt. Rub this spice mix all over the beef short ribs.
- Place the seasoned ribs on the rack in the pressure cooker, above the water.
- Seal the lid, ensure the valve is set to the sealed position, and cook on Manual HIGH Pressure for 30 minutes.
- Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then do a quick release to release the remaining pressure.
- While the ribs are cooking, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, chili garlic sauce, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Heat over medium, whisking until the sauce is smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Preheat your oven’s broiler. Place the cooked ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Brush the thickened sauce over the ribs generously on all sides.
- Broil the ribs for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until the sauce becomes glossy and sticky.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh ginger and garlic for best flavor, but ground versions work in a pinch.
- Adjust the chili garlic sauce to control spice level.
- For extra caramelization, broil a little longer but watch closely to avoid burning.
- Serve with white rice and steamed green veggies for a complete meal.
