Guinness-Braised 
Short Ribs
A perfect, comforting dish for 
a cold winter evening.
Settings: Brown/Sauté
Slow Cook
Makes 4 servings 
4  beef short ribs (about 2 pounds)
1½  teaspoons kosher salt, divided
¼  teaspoon freshly ground black 
 pepper
1½  teaspoons olive oil
1  small onion, peeled and cut into 
 ¼-inch dice
1  leek, root end trimmed, white and 
  light green parts only washed well 
  and cut into ¼-inch dice,
2  medium carrots, peeled and cut into 
 ¼-inch dice
1  celery stalk, cut into ¼-inch dice
2  garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
¾  teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
12  ounces Guinness beer (one standard 
 bottle)
1   tablespoon tomato paste
  water, if necessary
4  fresh Italian parsley sprigs, chopped
1.  Season the beef on all sides with ½ 
teaspoon of the salt, and all the pepper.
2.  Put the oil into the cooking pot of the 
Multicooker set to Brown/Sauté at 400°F. 
Once unit has preheated, add the short 
ribs. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, 
until nicely browned. Remove and reserve. 
Carefully remove the grease, leaving only 
about 2 teaspoons behind.
3.  Add the vegetables, garlic, thyme and 
remaining salt to the pot and reduce the 
temperature to 375°F. Cook until onion is 
translucent and vegetables are slightly 
softened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the 
Guinness and simmer to reduce slightly, 
about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato 
paste. Nestle the ribs and any accumulated 
liquid into the vegetables. Be sure liquid 
comes halfway up the ribs (if it does not, 
add additional water to reach to that point.)
4.  Cover and switch unit to Slow Cook on Low 
for 10 hours.
5.  When unit switches to Keep Warm, it is 
recommended to degrease the liquid before 
serving. Either remove grease with a ladle 
or blot with a fat mop or paper towel.
6.  Once ready to serve, stir in the chopped 
parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning 
accordingly.
