Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef short ribs
- 8 cups water
- 1 Korean radish (or daikon), sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Prepare the beef short ribs: Place the beef short ribs into the Instant Pot and cover them with water. Use the sauté function to bring the water to a boil to remove impurities from the meat.
- Clean the ribs: Once boiling, drain the water and rinse the ribs thoroughly to remove any foam or impurities for a cleaner broth.
- Add fresh water and ingredients: Return the ribs to the Instant Pot and add 8 cups of fresh water. Add the sliced Korean radish and crushed garlic cloves to the pot for flavor.
- Pressure cook the soup: Seal the Instant Pot lid securely and set it to cook on high pressure for 40 minutes. This tenderizes the ribs and extracts deep flavors into the broth.
- Pressure release: After cooking, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes before manually releasing any remaining pressure to ensure safety.
- Season and finish: Open the lid and season the soup with salt, black pepper, and sesame oil to enhance the flavor profile. Stir gently to combine.
- Garnish and serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped green onions. Serve hot with steamed rice and kimchi for a complete meal.
Notes
- Serve with steamed rice and kimchi for a traditional Korean meal experience.
- Skim excess fat from the surface of the broth before serving to reduce greasiness if desired.
- Optionally, add glass noodles to the soup for extra texture and heartiness.
