Asian Sticky Beef Short Ribs - Instant Pot - Kravings
Inspired by a recent video by Marion's Kitchen, I created this recipe with my spin on it and cooked it in less time using an Instant Pot. I really love to slow cook, it cooks the meat giving it an incredible fall of the bone texture, however, sometimes you don't have the time to slow cook and a pressure cooker will cook this for you in half the time. Once this recipe is ready to be cooked you can choose either method that suits your need.
