Braised short ribs recipe

There’s something rich and comforting about a slowly baked dish that fills the house with warmth. It’s decadent, filled with amazing flavors that have developed during the long baking time. This braised short ribs recipe is exactly that. It’s a dish that’s baked for around 3 hours with wine, onions, carrots, and stock until the sauce is thick and reduced and filled with the pork drippings.

What does braising mean?

Braising is a cooking method that’s incredibly delicious for meat cuts! You just sear a cut of meat and then cook it for a long time with some liquid to keep it soft and juicy.

What I love about braising is that it gives the flavors ample time to develop which results in even deeper and more robust flavor combinations. It also infuses the meats with a lot of those sauce flavors that are earthy and sweet and savory and so so good!

The slow cooking process also produces some meat that literally falls off the bone with a spoon! You honestly don’t even need a knife to cut it out!

Can you cook braised short ribs in an Instant Pot?

Yes! While I love how they turn out when cooked in the oven, they turn out incredibly good in the Instant Pot too!

Just sear the ribs and transfer to the Instant Pot. Pour the wine, stock, carrots, onion and spices and stir to combine. Close the lid and vent and cook on high pressure for around 1 hour. You’ll get almost the same results in one third of the time!

What goes with braised short ribs?

Oven braised short ribs is the type of dish you would make for an indulgent family dinner. Served with creamy mashed potatoes that can soak up all that delicious sauce. You can also serve it with some dinner rolls and roasted veggies on the side.

To make these delicious braised ribs you’ll need a handful of ingredients, in addition to short ribs:

• olive oil
• Onion, chopped or cut julienne
• Carrots, chopped in small bits or grated (this is faster)

• wine (I prefer red but white works just as great)
• beef stock
• dried herbs like oregano, thyme and rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste

4. Take to the oven and bake for 2 ½ to 3 hours or until the ribs are tender.
