Preparation

Step 1

1. In a 5-7 qt. pressure cooker, heat 1 Tbs. of the oil over medium-high heat. In batches, add the short ribs and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a plate, season with the salt, and set aside.

2. Pour off any fat in the cooker. Return the cooker to medium heat. Add the remaining 1 Tbs. oil. Add the onion, carrot, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the water, scraping the brown bits at the bottom of the cooker with a wooden spoon. Add the thyme, peppercorns, and bay leaf. Return the ribs to the cooker.

3. Lock the lid in place. Bring to high pressure, under high heat. Adjust the heat to maintain the pressure. Cook for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and quick release the pressure. Open the lid and switch the positions of the ribs from top to bottom. Cover again, and bring to high pressure, and cook for an additional 20 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with the cooking oil.

5. Remove the pot from the heat and quick release the pressure. Open the lid and transfer the short ribs to a wire rack set over a jellyroll pan and let drain. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.

6. To make the deviled crust: In a small bowl, mix the mustard, garlic, and hot pepper. Mix the bread crumbs and olive oil in a shallow bowl untl the crumbs are evenly moistened. Brush the meaty part of the ribs with the mustard mixture and roll in the bread crumbs. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake turning once, until the crust is lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve Hot.
