The first food I ever cooked in my Instant Pot was short ribs/flanken. It convinced me this device would change my life. I was amazed how moist the meat was after 40 minutes, when it usually took 2 ½ hours’ baking to achieve the same melt-in-your-mouth texture.

If making this with a regular oven, sear the meat on the stove top and then bake covered in the oven for 2 ½ hours at 160°C
