Are you an Instant Pot fan? When you need a delicious, filling meal on the table fast but don’t have hours to wait, the Instant Pot electric pressure cooker will come to the rescue, again and again. This recipe for sesame garlic short ribs is versatile and can be served with your favorite Whole30 veggie dish. We recommend steamed greens, such as bok choy or sweet potato greens, or even a simple asparagus dish.
No Instant Pot? No problem. You can make this recipe in your slow cooker. Just see the recipe note below.
1 lb. organic beef boneless short ribs, diced in 1″ pieces
PLACE all ingredients except fresh lime wedges and one minced scallion into your electric pressure cooker, toss well and cook with the steam trapped for 15 minutes.
AFTER pressure cooker has stopped cooking, allow steam to release naturally for 15 minutes.
Recipe note: If using a slow cooker, place all ingredients except fresh lime wedges and one minced scallion in your slow cooker, toss well and cook on low for 4-6 hours. When the Short Ribs are finished cooking, remove them from the slow cooker, arrange them on a serving platter and garnish with fresh lime wedges and minced scallion.

I’d love to make these but my grocery store only carries bone in short ribs. Do you think that would work?
LikeLike
Yes! When they are done cooking, the meat will fall right off the bones 🙂

Made this yesterday. It was good but the meat was over cooked. Was I supposed to do it on low pressure? Once it came to pressure 10 mins, then it cooked for 15 mins. Then let the pressure come down naturally for 15. It was just too long. Any suggestions?

Hmm, I cooked mine on manual and it was not overcooked, I would recommend trying it on low pressure if you ran into that issue. Or, use the same setting but reduce the cooking time to 5 minutes. I hope you can retry it sometime and enjoy it!

Is there enough liquid for the instant pot?
LikeLike
Yes, but you can add 1/2 cup more if you like (purified water or beef broth work well).

This sounds amazing!
If you don’t have a pressure cooker, would a crockpot work?
LikeLike
Yes, a Crockpot or other slow-cooker would work great. Simply add everything to the cooker, then cook on low heat for 4-6 hours.

For cooking in a slow cooker, does the recipe require more liquid?
LikeLike
Yes, add more liquid to keep it from drying out. Aim to cover the meat about 1/2 way.

Really good — as others suggested, I’ll add more liquid next time, but very tasty. A keeper!

Looks wonderful! Would be even better if it included nutritional information for those of us on diets that require that, and also a printer-friendly version. While I will be saving this one, I don’t go back to sites that don’t offer these two items as there are SO many sites that do.
Thanks.
