Chili Lime Instant Pot Short Ribs
If you are looking for a simple recipe that packs a ton of flavor, these Paleo and Whole30 Instant Pot Short Ribs seasoned with chili lime spices fit the bill perfectly!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 3-4 lb beef short ribs
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp coriander
- 1/4 tsp cayenne optional
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- Juice and zest of 2 limes plus more for garnish
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- Chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- If the short ribs aren't cut up already, slice them across into sections, so each section contains a bone.
- Combine chili powder, cumin, onion powder, oregano, sea salt, black pepper, coriander, cayenne, garlic cloves, and lime zest in a small bowl and mix together.
- Sprinkle and press down the spices all over the short ribs until the short ribs are evenly covered.
- Set Instant Pot to Sauté setting and heat coconut oil for 5-10 minutes, until fully heated. The reader on the Instant Pot will say "hot."
- Add the short ribs to the Instant Pot and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Work in batches if needed.
- Leave the beef in the Instant Pot and turn it off.
- Pour in lime juice and apple cider vinegar.
- Close the lid and make sure the pressure valve is set to SEALING. Set the Instant Pot to MEAT/STEW for 35 minutes. Once done cooking, let it sit for 10 minutes until the pressure naturally releases and you can open the lid easily.
- Sprinkle with cilantro and more lime juice before serving.
Notes
Even though this recipe doesn't require a lot of liquid, the Instant Pot will come to pressure and cook the short ribs. The meat will also release a lot of liquid during the cooking process, so you don't need to add more liquid.
