Equipment

  • Instant Pot - Electric Pressure Cooker
  • Air Fryer
  • Vacuum Sealer
  • Vacuum Sealer & Bags
  • Pot or polycarbonate Container

Ingredients

For the Ribs

  • 2 lbs Beef Short Ribs on the Bone
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Onion Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Sea Salt

Optional Rib Glaze

  • ¼ cup Honey
  • ¼ cup Soy Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Vegetable Oil

Instructions

Sous Vide Cook

  • Season the ribs liberally with garlic powder, onion powder and sea salt.
  • Seal the ribs in a vacuum bag. Dad likes to double bag these due to the bones so that there is no chance of breaking the bag.
  • Set up your sous vide cooker according the the manufacturers directions.
  • Set the cooker to 134 degrees and wait for the water to come up to temp. You can do 131 if you would like the ribs more to the rare side of medium rare.
  • When the water reaches 134 degrees submerge the sealed ribs in the water bath. Place an item on top if you wish to prevent floating. If you want you can use ping pong balls like dad to prevent evaporation. If not make sure you check your water level mid cook so that the ribs do not become uncovered.
  • After 24 hours remove the bag of ribs from the water bath.
  • Remove the ribs from the bag and dry them thoroughly.

Air Fryer Cook

  • Set up your air fryer according the manufacturers directions.
  • Place the ribs in the air fryer and coat with vegetable oil. A sprayer works best.
  • Cook at 360 degrees for 10 minute. Your time and temp may vary depending on your air fryer. You are just looking for a nice browned color.

Optional Glaze (You can use any BBQ sauce you like)

  • Mix ¼ cup of honey, ¼ cup of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of ground ginger in a bowl.
  • Coat the ribs with glaze.
  • Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the glaze gets nice and browned.
  • Once desired color is achieved remove and serve immediately. No need to let them rest.
