Using cola in this short ribs recipe helps balance the spicy rub but donrsquot expect the sticky-sweet oven-braised version ofthis dish These ribs are rubbed with a spice mix and browned in the pressure cooker then cola soy sauce andWorcestershire are added to make a flavorful balanced cooking liquid Just 30 minutes later once the ribs have becomefork tender the sauce is thickened to make a beefy savory gravy Serve the ribs and sauce over mashed potatoes withan escarole and mushroom salad on the side

What to buy Look for the common English-cut beef short ribs which are about 2 to 2 12 inches thick Because of thethickness of short rib bones have your butcher cut them crosswise into 2-12-inch-long pieces Do not purchase Korean-style beef short ribs which are about 14inch thick with three rib bones attached

Game plan Though the CHOW Test Kitchen prefers a stovetop pressure cooker this recipe can also be made in an electric model Use the brown setting for steps2 and 3 then proceed with high pressure cooking Return the pressure cooker to the brown setting to finish the sauce in the last step
