The pressure cooker version keeps with the original by using hearty beef shanks, red wine, beef broth and a selection of fragrant aromatics that infuse the dish with irresistible flavor. It omits some traditional osso buco ingredients\u2014like tomatoes, garlic and herbs\u2014which lets the flavor of the beef really shine.\u00a0While the original recipe requires all-day cooking, this version can be on your table in about an hour thanks to your pressure cooker.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Instant Pot Beef Shanks<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Beef shanks:<\/strong> Beef shanks are well-worked muscles from the cow&#8217;s leg. It&#8217;s a cut that benefits from low-and-slow cooking with moist heat to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-tough-meat-tender\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-tough-meat-tender\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">make the tough meat tender<\/a>. We use an electric pressure cooker for this recipe, but you could use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/slow-cooker-pressure-cooker-dutch-oven-or-pressure-cooker\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/slow-cooker-pressure-cooker-dutch-oven-or-pressure-cooker\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">slow cooker, pressure cooker, Dutch oven or Instant Pot<\/a> to braise beef shanks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:<\/strong> When searing beef shanks in an Instant Pot, don&#8217;t forget to season them with salt. Doing so draws out the moisture and creates a flavorful meat brine that&#8217;s reabsorbed by the meat as it cooks, making the beef juicier.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Canola oil:<\/strong> We use this neutral cooking oil to sear the beef shanks and give them a flavorful crust.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vegetables:<\/strong> The aromatic combination of onion, carrot and green pepper adds flavor to the braising liquid.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beef broth:<\/strong> Beef broth functions as the braising liquid in the recipe, which helps keep the beef shanks moist, tender and juicy as they cook in the Instant Pot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Red wine:<\/strong> You can use any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/red-wine-types\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/red-wine-types\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">type of red wine<\/a> for this recipe. We like dry red wines like cabernet sauvignon or merlot to add depth of flavor and richness without sweetness. If you prefer to omit the wine, swap in an equal amount of beef broth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon:<\/strong> A single lemon slice adds a touch of acidity and brightness that contrasts with the rich beef shanks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cornstarch:<\/strong> Mixed with a bit of water to make a simple slurry, cornstarch helps thicken the flavor-packed broth and transform it into a heavenly, velvety sauce. If you don&#8217;t want to use cornstarch, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-thicken-sauce\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-thicken-sauce\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">thicken sauce<\/a> with flour or arrowroot instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Brown the beef shanks<\/h3>\n<p>Season the beef shanks on all sides with salt. Select the saute or browning setting on a 6-quart electric pressure cooker. Adjust for medium heat, and add the oil. When the oil is hot, brown the beef in batches. Press cancel.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip: <\/em>Searing the beef shanks on all sides is the key to developing flavor in this recipe. It creates a desirable appearance and enhances the beef&#8217;s taste and texture. After adding the beef to the Instant Pot, leave it undisturbed for a few minutes to ensure a nice, brown crust forms.

Add the onion, carrot, green pepper, red wine, beef broth and lemon.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Pressure-cook the beef shanks<\/h3>\n<p>Lock the lid and close the pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 40 minutes. Once the 40 minutes are up, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure. Remove the meat and vegetables from the pressure cooker and keep warm. Discard the lemon.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> New to pressure cookers?
