Salty, sweet and nutty with toasted sesame, these braised short ribs are a simplified version the Korean classic known as galbi jjim. Traditional versions often are sweetened with Asian pear, but we found any firm, ripe pear works perfectly well. Soaking the ribs in cold water helps remove impurities so the braising liquid becomes shiny and glossy; use this time to prepare the other ingredients. Serve with steamed rice and, if you like, toasted sesame oil for drizzling. Spicy, tangy kimchi is a great accompaniment, too.
Servings
Don't use raw sesame seeds. Toasted seeds have a rich nuttiness that adds complexity to the dish. Already toasted (or roasted) sesame seeds are sold in large plastic shaker bottles, usually in the Asian aisle of supermarkets. Or, to toast your own, stir them on Normal/Medium Sauté in the Instant Pot until lightly golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
