How to Make Red Wine Braised Short Ribs With Fingerlings Potatoes

Preheat Instant Pot to sauté setting.
Pat 3 lbs bone-in short ribs dry and season generously with 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
Add 2 tbsp olive oil to the pot and swirl to coat.
Sear short ribs in batches, about 5 minutes per side, until deeply golden brown. Remove ribs to a plate.
If needed, add more olive oil (up to 1 tbsp).
Return all ribs to the pot. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp all-purpose flour and toss to coat.
Pour in 1 cup dry red wine (such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot) and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes, or until reduced by half.
Evenly distribute 1 large carrot, chopped; 2 celery stalks, chopped; 1 leek, white and light green parts only, sliced; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 1 bay leaf; and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes around the ribs.
Add 1 cup beef broth and 1 lb fingerling potatoes, halved.
Season vegetables generously with salt and pepper.
Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 45 minutes.
Allow pressure to release naturally for 30 minutes.
Carefully quick release any remaining pressure.
Remove ribs and vegetables with a slotted spoon and tent with foil to keep warm.
Skim fat from the cooking liquid using a fat separator or spoon.
(Optional) Return sauce to the Instant Pot and simmer on sauté setting, uncovered, until thickened to your desired consistency.
Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve short ribs with potatoes, vegetables, and sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme.
