Instructions
-
In a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, gochujang, and honey.
-
Place the short ribs in a deep baking dish or large bowl and season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
-
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the ribs. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
-
Preheat a 6-quart Instant Pot on the high sauté setting. Once hot, add the coconut oil.
-
Remove the short ribs from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Reserve the marinade for later.
-
Working in batches, add the short ribs to the Instant Pot and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until deeply caramelized.
-
Transfer the short ribs to a baking sheet as they finish cooking and repeat with the remaining ribs.
-
After the short ribs are seared, add the pear, shallot, ginger, and garlic to the Instant Pot.
-
Season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the mixture is golden brown.
-
Return the short ribs to the Instant Pot, then pour in the reserved marinade.
-
Place the lid on the Instant Pot, make sure the lid is set to “Sealing,” and change the setting to high pressure cooker. Set the timer for 20 minutes.
-
At the end of 20 minutes, carefully release the pressure from the Instant Pot by turning the knob from “Sealing” to “Venting.”
-
Wait for the pressure to release and the Instant Pot to unlock before taking off the lid.
-
Remove the short ribs from the pot and change the setting to high sauté.
-
Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until reduced to about 2 cups (480 ml)
-
Add the cornstarch to the water and mix until completely dissolved.
-
Add the slurry to the sauce and whisk continuously for another 3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
-
Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Skim off any excess oil from the top of the sauce, if desired.
-
Serve the short ribs over white rice.
-
Pour about ½ cup (120 ml) of the sauce over the ribs and serve the rest on the side.
-
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, cilantro, and scallions, and serve with kimchi, if desired.
