1

Season short ribs on all sides with garlic powder, kosher salt, and pepper.
2

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select the Sauté function according to the manufacturer's instructions. Set the temperature to 375 degrees F (191 degrees C) if your unit has a temperature setting.
3

Heat olive oil in the pot. Add short ribs and sear all over until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the pot and set aside.
4

Combine beef stock, tomato paste, carrots, onion, vinegar, and mushroom in the pot. Stir until the tomato paste is dissolved. Return the short ribs to the pot. Close and lock the lid. Select the Meat function according to the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 30 to 40 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
5

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove the short ribs and skim any fat from the top of the liquid in the pot.
6

Stir water and cornstarch together to make a slurry. Set the pressure cooker to Sauté and bring the liquid to a boil. Stir in the slurry until the mixture is thickened to your liking. Season with salt and pepper, then return the short ribs. Cook on low until the flavors come together, about 5 minutes more.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
