Can The Spectacular Instant Pot Transform These Short Ribs Into A Heavenly, Tender, Delicious Meal?

When my wife first talked about buying one of those Instant Pot pressure cookers, I thought we would use it a few times and then it would to begin collecting dust on the shelf in one of our cabinets. But after trying this braised beef short rib recipe among many other great uses for the Instant Pot, it was the slow cooker that began collecting dust instead. These short ribs come out remarkably tender and flavorful in a dish that I cannot say enough about. If you can find beef short ribs in a store near you, this recipe is a must.
