Description

This Paleo Instant Pot Short Ribs recipe offers a flavorful and tender beef dish cooked to perfection using an Instant Pot. Rich with aromatic herbs and tart cherry juice, the ribs become succulent and fall-off-the-bone tender in just over an hour, making it a perfect hearty meal that is both paleo-friendly and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Meat

  • 2 to 3 pounds bone-in beef short ribs

Vegetables

  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 large carrots, chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids & Seasonings

  • 2 cups tart cherry juice (100% pure, not sweetened or regular cherry juice)
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 5 sprigs fresh oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Brown the Short Ribs: Press the “Saute” function on your Instant Pot and let it heat for a couple of minutes. Season the short ribs liberally with sea salt. Place the ribs on the hot surface without oil and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until golden-brown, then flip and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes. You may need to do this in 2 batches. Transfer browned ribs to a plate.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Keeping the Instant Pot on the Saute function, add chopped onion, carrots, and minced garlic, sautéing them in the rendered beef fat until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Add Ingredients to Pot: Return the browned short ribs to the Instant Pot, then pour in tart cherry juice. Add dried rosemary, fresh oregano sprigs, and sea salt to taste.
  4. Pressure Cook: Secure the Instant Pot lid and select the Stew/Meat mode. Set the cooking time to 45 minutes for bone-in short ribs (or 35 minutes if using boneless short ribs).
  5. Natural Pressure Release: After cooking completes, allow the pot to remain in Keep Warm mode for 15 minutes for natural pressure release, then turn the vent to fast natural release to release any remaining pressure.
  6. Prepare the Sauce (Optional): Using tongs, remove the short ribs to a plate. Skim the fat from the surface of the braising liquid. With the Instant Pot on Saute mode, add balsamic vinegar and simmer the liquid, reducing it by boiling for 20 to 30 minutes until it thickens to your liking. Adjust seasoning with sea salt or more balsamic vinegar as desired.
  7. Serve: Plate the short ribs over mashed sweet potatoes, drizzle with the reduced sauce, garnish with fresh thyme, and enjoy a delicious paleo-friendly meal.

Notes

  • To make this recipe Low-FODMAP, omit the onion and garlic, and add 1 extra tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to enhance flavor.
  • Use 100% pure tart cherry juice for authenticity and the best flavor; alternatively, red wine can be used as a substitute.
  • Browning the ribs in batches prevents overcrowding and ensures a good sear.
  • The sauce reduction step is optional but adds a rich depth of flavor.
