Pressure Cooker Asian-Style Boneless Short Ribs

These Pressure Cooker Asian-Style Boneless Short Ribs are so tender and intensely flavored. 

Beef short ribs are pretty much my new favorite cut of meat. They are so rich and flavorful, and are excellent braised or cooked in a slow cooker. They are just so "beefy!"

For this short ribs recipe, I decided to try cooking them in my new electric pressure cooker!

I had never cooked with an electric pressure cooker before, even though I've been intrigued by them for a long time. When I finally got a pressure cooker, short ribs were first on my list to try.

These short ribs would normally take about 6 to 8 hours in a slow cooker, but these took less than an hour to cook, from start to finish. They were so tender and delicious!

These short ribs are flavored with hoisin sauce, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry, scallions, and cayenne pepper. After cooking, the sauce, which is loaded with meaty flavor, is flavored with more scallions as well as cilantro. 

I served them over sticky rice with the sauce. They were sooooo good!! 

By the way, leftovers of these short ribs were wonderful in burritos with the rice, some scallions, red cabbage, pico de gallo, cheese, and refried beans. It may sound weird, but trust me. 

If you're a fan of short ribs like me, be sure to try this Beef Stew or these bone-in Asian Style Short Ribs.
