Low Carb Beef Short Ribs- In the Instant Pot
I am really excited to show you how to make this super awesome dish. It is crazy easy to make any time- whether it’s a normal weeknight meal, a fantastic holiday dinner or served as a tasty main dish at a dinner party.
I absolutely love making this dish when I’m craving a really comforting meal. Those times when you just want to feel all cozy and comfy and take a trip back to your childhood or maybe just create a wonderful memory for your own kids. Do you know what I mean?
This is definitely one of those dishes.
I love that I can just do a quick sear, and then allow my instant pot to do the rest.
So let’s take our beautiful beef short ribs and get started on this amazingly effortless dinner.
Low Carb Beef Short Ribs Ingredients
- Beef Short Ribs- Well, you’ll definitely need these since they’re the main ingredient.
- Chicken Broth- Low sodium or full is totally fine. Organic works well too. Just use what works for you.
- Brown/Yellow Onion- If you choose red onion that is okay as well.
- Salt
- Black Pepper
You will absolutely want to liberally season the short ribs. I would say at least 1 tsp of black pepper and 1/2 tsp of salt per rib, and make sure you’re seasoning all sides. Don’t be scared about how much salt and pepper you’re using as the ribs desperately need it.
Low Carb Beef Short Ribs Instructions
Okay, no lie this is going to go by quickly and it is super easy…pinky promise.
- Okay, this is something that I never do with meat, but you’ll want to rinse the short ribs. Nothing crazy, just run them under some cold water and pat dry. I found that while I was testing this recipe that there were bone fragments on my plate (yikes!). So rinsing them quickly gets rid of all that.
- Next you’ll want to season your beef short ribs. Liberally season each short rib with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Now slice your onion and set to the side.
- Once all these steps are complete you’ll turn your Instant Pot on to “sauté mode”. As soon as the inner pot is hot enough you’ll sear each side of the short ribs. Depending on the size of your instant pot, you may need to do this in batches. Once a batch is done searing, remove from pot and start on the next batch.
- So now that our ribs are seared we’ll turn our instant pot off and add half our onions to the bottom, place all the ribs on top and then add the remaining onions. Before we close our lid we’ll add our broth.
- Close and lock your Instant Pot lid and make sure it is set on “sealing”. Press the “pressure cook” button and set for one hour on high pressure. Allow a natural release.
Guess what? You’re done! That’s it. Once the pressure has been released all you’ll need to do is remove them from the instant pot and serve with whatever veggie strikes your fancy. We absolutely loved topping our beef short ribs on a large dollop of mashed cauliflower with a generous drizzled of the broth and the onions on top. Seriously, these are so so tasty!
