Ingredients
-
3 pounds beef short ribs
-
1 Asian pear - peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped
-
1 small onion, chopped
-
4 cloves garlic, chopped
-
½ tablespoon peeled and coarsely chopped fresh ginger
-
1 cup low-sodium soy sauce, divided
-
¼ cup rice wine
-
¼ cup water
-
¼ cup brown sugar
-
2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
2 carrots, peeled and cut in chunks
-
5 radishes, peeled and cut into chunks
-
¼ cup white sugar
-
½ bunch green onions, chopped, or to taste
-
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, or to taste
Directions
-
Soak ribs in a large bowl of water for 1 hour.
-
Meanwhile, combine Asian pear, onion, garlic, and ginger in a blender or food processor; purée until smooth. Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl. Mix in 3/4 cup soy sauce, rice wine, water, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and pepper to create a sauce. Set aside.
-
Drain ribs and dry them well. Trim off excess fat. Place ribs in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot), then add carrots and radishes. Pour Asian pear sauce on top. Close and lock the lid. Select Meat function according to manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 35 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
-
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Transfer meat and vegetables to a plate and set aside.
-
Select the Sauté function on your Instant Pot. Stir in white sugar, remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce, and remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar has melted and sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Return ribs and vegetables to the pot; stir to coat with sauce.
-
Garnish ribs and vegetables with green onions and sesame seeds.
