[Instant Pot] Freezer Meal: Korean Short Ribs
Korean BBQ has been a beloved favorite food of my husband and I since we got acquainted with it when we lived in southern California. I've shared a variation of this recipe before with my Instant Pot Korean BBQ Beef Roast + Ssam... but in this case, swapping short ribs for the bulky roast makes this a little friendlier to your freezer space. When you're not up for grilling, Instant Pot is a good option for cooking up a big batch of braised beef using the same classic flavors.
