Ingredients
Scale
- 2 racks of pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
- 1 cup of chicken broth or water
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/4 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
- 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- Optional: a dash of cayenne pepper for spice
Instructions
- Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs using a paper towel for easy peeling.
- Mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if desired). Rub this spice blend generously over both sides of the ribs.
- Set your pressure cooker to sauté mode and add olive oil. Sear each side of the ribs for 2-3 minutes to develop flavor and crust.
- Pour chicken broth or water into the pressure cooker. Place the ribs on the steaming rack or directly inside if they fit snugly. Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 25 minutes.
- Allow natural release for about 10 minutes. Carefully open the lid, remove the ribs, and brush generously with BBQ sauce. For a caramelized finish, broil or grill briefly.
Notes
- Removing the membrane helps achieve tender, flavorful ribs.
- Adjust cooking time based on rib thickness for optimal tenderness.
- Finish with a grill or broiler for extra smoky flavor and caramelization.
