Ingredients used to make Instant Pot Glazed Short Ribs:

olive oil
beef short ribs
salt and black pepper
beef stock broth
condensed French onion soup
chili sauce
cornstarch
cold water
dried rosemary

How to make Instant Pot Glazed Short Ribs:

Press the Sauté function button on the Instant Pot. As soon as it’s hot, add the oil.
Pat the ribs dry with a paper towel, then season all sides with salt and pepper.
Add ribs to hot oil in Instant Pot (you might have to do it in batches – you want them in a single layer) and sear on all sides (about 1-2 minutes per side – you aren’t cooking the ribs, just browning them). Remove the brown ribs from pot and place on a plate off to the side.
Add beef broth to pan and using a wooden spoon or spatula, deglaze the bottom of the pot (scraping up any browned bits that cooked to the bottom of the pan).
Add ribs back into pot. In a large bowl, combine French onion soup and chili sauce. Pour sauce over ribs.
Place the lid on top of the Instant Pot and move the valve to SEALING. Press the PRESSURE COOK (MANUAL) button and set cook time for 45 minutes.
When the timer is done, let the pressure do a NATURAL RELEASE (not quick release, should take about 15-20 minutes).
Remove lid and carefully remove short ribs.
If desired, you can thicken up the extra sauce and drizzle it on top of the ribs. To thicken up the sauce, press the sauté setting button after the ribs are removed.
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and cold water. Add the cornstarch slurry to the pot and whisk it into the liquid. Let it cook until the sauce has thickened to the desired consistency you want. Serve this delicious sauce over ribs, top with rosemary and enjoy.

Notes: Chili sauce can be found on the condiments aisle next to the ketchup – it’s kind of like ketchup with a kick! We use the Heinz brand.

What to serve with this Instant Pot Short Ribs recipe:

Should I use bone in or boneless short ribs in this Instant Pot Recipe?

This recipe would work with both bone in or boneless.

We have tried both and they are delicious either way. In the picture, these ribs are bone in.

If you have picky kids, they may like the boneless better, but either one would work with this recipe.

The cooking time doesn’t need to change.
