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
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Prepare Ribs: Place beef short ribs in the Instant Pot and cover them with water. Use the sauté function to bring the water to a boil, then drain and rinse the ribs thoroughly to remove any impurities and scum for a clear broth.
- Add Ingredients: Return the clean ribs to the Instant Pot and add fresh 8 cups of water along with the sliced Korean radish and crushed garlic cloves.
- Pressure Cook: Seal the Instant Pot lid securely and set to cook on high pressure for 40 minutes, allowing the beef to become tender and flavors to meld.
- Release Pressure: After cooking finishes, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes before carefully opening the lid.
- Season Soup: Stir in the salt, black pepper, and sesame oil to season the broth perfectly.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the soup with the chopped green onions and serve hot, ideally alongside steamed rice and kimchi.
Notes
- Serve with steamed rice and kimchi for an authentic Korean meal experience.
- Skim excess fat from the broth before serving for a lighter soup.
- Consider adding glass noodles to the soup for extra texture and heartiness.
