Why Are My Instant Pot Beef Short Ribs Tough?

If your ribs are tough it means they were most likely not cooked long enough. Bone ribs are tough cuts of meat and need to be cooked thoroughly break down the connective tissue.  

Also, make sure the individual ribs are cut small enough to cook thoroughly. Cook the ribs using high pressure and increase the cooking time. It’s also important to use a natural release rather than a quick release to release the remaining steam. This allows more time for the meat to become extra tender.

Why Am I Getting The Burn Notice?

• The first step is to check to make sure there is not a problem with one of the Instant pot components. A bad sealing ring can cause the Instant Pot to just cook your contents as it attempts to reach pressure.
• Make sure that you’re using enough liquid to the bottom of the pot. You will need at least of one cup of water in the bottom of the instant pot in order for it to come to pressure. The recipe may call for other cooking liquid such as beef broth or apple juice which works the same way. Check the recipe card to find out how much liquid to add.
• If you have sautéed the meat for brown ribs, next time be sure to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan before pressure cooking.
