INGREDIENTS

– ½ cup soy sauce – ½ cup water or beef broth – ⅓ cup light brown sugar – 2 tablespoons sesame oil – 2 teaspoons sea salt – 1 teaspoon garlic powder – 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger – ½ teaspoon black pepper – 3 pounds bone in short ribs – 2 tablespoons butter – 1 yellow onion finely chopped – 1 tablespoon cornstarch

– In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, sesame oil, salt, garlic powder, ginger, and black pepper. – Place the ribs in a shallow dish and pour the sauce over.

– Allow to sit at room temperature for an hour, or refrigerate overnight. – Set your Instant Pot to HIGH saute, and add the butter.

– When the butter is melted, add the onion. Cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you have a lot of brown on the bottom of your Instant Pot, use a measuring spoon to remove ⅓ cup of the marinade from the beef ribs and pour in the pan. Scrape up the brown bits with a spoon. (This will prevent the burn signal.)

– Hit cancel and place the trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot. – Use tongs to transfer the ribs to the Instant Pot and pour the marinade on top of the meat. – Lock the lid in place and select HIGH pressure.

– Cook for 45 minutes, and allow the pressure to release naturally. – Carefully remove the ribs and trivet from the pot.

– In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water.

– Select high saute and bring the liquid to a boil. Add the cornstarch slurry, and cook until the sauce thickens about 5 minutes.
