Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons ghee
  • 3 pounds short ribs
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 large cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons or 1 lemon juiced
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 sprigs sage

Instructions

  • Set Instant Pot to 'saute' mode and add ghee.
  • Season short ribs with salt and pepper. Once ghee is melted, add short ribs to the Instant pot to brown, 4-5 minutes per side. You will need to work in 2-3 batches to make sure you don't overcrowd the pan.
  • Once the short ribs are browned, remove them from the pan and add the garlic, and saute until fragrant.
  • Next, add the red wine, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Then, add the balsamic vinegar and lemon juice. Add the short ribs back to the pot along with the rosemary and sage.
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set it to "manual" and adjust to 45 minutes. Let the pressure release for about 15-20 minutes, then open the pot.
  • Serve!

Notes

Slow Cooker Version:
  1. Pat ribs dry with paper towels.
  2. Rub with salt and pepper.
  3. Lay meat-side up in slow cooker {or crockpot}.
  4. Pour the remaining ingredients over the ribs and cook on high for 7-8 hours.
