Put the lid on the pressure cooker and seal it. Cook the pot roast over high heat. This will build pressure inside of the chamber and eventually cause it to make a whistling or beeping sound. When this occurs, change the heat from high to medium and allow the roast to cook for 45 minutes. Turn the heat off and remove the pressure cooker to allow it to stand at room temperature for approximately 5 minutes. Remove the lid carefully, as the pressure will be thick inside of the pressure cooker.
They all have two things in common: They're delicious, and they take a long time to cook. If you have a pressure cooker, you can shortcut the process. If you don't have a pressure cooker but still want to make short ribs, you can use this recipe to do that, too. Using a pressure cooker, you can have short ribs on the dinner table in under an hour; using a Dutch oven or other heavy pot will require more like 3 1/2 to 4 hours of braising time. The smart thing that this recipe does -- which we would have never thought of on our own -- is to cook the vegetables inside the pressure cooker along with the ribs.
