Pour olive oil over the beef short ribs and mix to help the seasoning stick.

Sprinkle kosher salt and black pepper over the beef short ribs.

Add brown Jamaican seasoning for color and marinate for about an hour, preferably overnight.

Preheat a cast iron skillet (or regular skillet) and add bacon grease (or olive oil).

Sear the beef short ribs for about 3-4 minutes on each side over medium heat (about 6).

Remove the short ribs from the skillet and keep the bacon grease in the pan.

Add green seasoning to the skillet; if not available, use one chopped yellow onion and one chopped green bell pepper, caramelizing until brown.

Add about 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt.

Gradually add flour to the melted butter, mixing well and cooking for 3-4 minutes while stirring constantly.

Slowly pour in beef broth to achieve the desired consistency, adding more for a soupy base if preferred.

Add red wine, low sodium soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, saffron, and chicken bouillon to the sauce, adjusting seasonings as desired.

Return the short ribs to the skillet with the sauce.

Transfer everything to the Instant Pot, set on high pressure for about an hour, and keep warm after cooking.

After cooking, check that the short ribs are tender and falling off the bone.
