Instant Pot Bourbon & Cola Beef Short Ribs PT90M https://img4.recipesrun.com/201907/2019/1216/ac/9/333311/300x200x90.jpg This dish is inspired by the classic braised beef recipes that appear in almost all vintage community cookbooks in the South. The classic relied on a packet of dry onion soup mix for seasoning and a bottle of cola to help tenderize the beef. This recipe updates those flavors a bit. Instead of dry soup mix, the gravy includes fresh onions and herbs. Pressure-cooking ensures tender beef, but the cola is still here for flavor. 6 servings Ingredients: 2 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves 1/4 cup bourbon 1 tsp. paprika 2 tsp. dried thyme 1 tbsp. soy sauce 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 3 tbsp. tomato-based chili sauce or ketchup 1 cup cola, preferably sweetened with cane sugar (not diet) 6 large garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced 4 cups medium yellow onions, chopped 3 tbsp. vegetable oil, as needed Kosher salt and ground black pepper 3 1/2 pounds boneless beef short ribs
