This instant pot Asian inspired beef short ribs recipe post was sponsored by NAKANO® Rice Vinegars as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

We’re a week into the new year and I’m still really focused on a healthier version of me, Yay! The only reason it’s working is that I’m not making drastic changes. For most people, too much change proves to be unrealistic for the long game, and the long game is the only one worth winning.

These instant pot Asian-inspired beef short ribs incorporate one of the simple, but oh so smart and tasty substitutions I’ve been making when I eat — NAKANO® Rice Vinegars. I have three flavors, but they’re available in seven clean-label varieties and two organic options. It’s especially welcome following all the indulgences of the holiday season. Make some better-for-you-meals this year!

Instant Pot Asian Inspired Beef Short Ribs

Instant pot beef short ribs with a healthy Asian twist is ready in about an hour. Served over rice, this pressure cooking meat recipe is a big winner!

To make the short ribs, I combine all the ingredients in the instant pot, add the short ribs and then toss the mushrooms in on top. It really couldn’t be easier.

Rather than using my customary wine or sake, I substituted NAKANO seasoned rice vinegar to cut down on some of those calories, and to be honest, I don’t love the taste of alcohol in my food. Now with my food… well, that’s another story.

After about an hour in the pressure cooker, the ribs will be fall-off-the-bone tender. With the addition of some veggies and a salad, dinner is ready.

Instead of using your favorite condiments on your veggies, splash on any of the NAKANO Seasoned Rice Vinegars for a pop of savory flavor. It’s a healthier swap and makes a great low-calorie substitute for high-fat dressings, marinades, oils or butter. Get more healthy swap ideas here!

In addition, you can whip up a quick ginger dressing with rice vinegar which tastes delicious drizzled over the salad and the instant pot Asian-inspired short ribs.
