Pork Ribs (Pressure Cooker)

Pork Ribs (Pressure Cooker)

Spend with Pennies, Holly, Canada.
Tender ribs, short cooking time, win win. For this, I have included a simple rub but by all means, use your preferred rub if you like. For the BBQ sauce, totally optional to use or not use. No serving amount is given, this is a make what you want recipe. I will be using my 9 liter (9½ quart) stove top pressure cooker with 80 kPa (12 psi) pressure for this. Follow all safety precautions for your model of pressure cooker. Link to the Shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.

Equipment

  • Pressure Cooker
  • Steamer Tray
  • Oven / Broiler

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 racks pork ribs, (about 1½ kilo / 3 lb)
  • 1 cup pork broth, or vegetable stock, or just water
  • ½ teaspoon liquid smoke
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 6 tablespoons dry rub, listed, or use your own rub
  • BBQ sauce, as needed, Shortcut

Basic Dry Rub

  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons lemon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano

Instructions
 

  • Mix together the Basic Dry Rub ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
  • Add the broth and liquid smoke to your pressure cooker add the steamer rack if equipped or place a trivet in the pot. Goal is to keep the ribs above the liquid in the pot.
  • Rinse and dry the racks, remove the silver membrane from the back. Cut racks into 1 bone pieces. (Tesco in town was out of the good ribs, just the racks with a lot of white bone was available.)
  • Coat the rib sections with the dry rub you made.
  • Place the piece on the streamer rack and sprinkle with the onion and garlic. (I ran out of onion so just went with garlic.)
  • Place the lid on the cooker and lock, add the weight (jiggler). Place on high heat until the jiggler starts to move and vent pressure. Reduce the heat to low or medium low, but maintain the jiggler moving, indicating full pressure. Set your timer for 15 minutes.
  • When 15 minutes have passed, turn off the heat and move the cooker to an unused burner and allow a natural release of pressure, meaning hands off until you have indication the pressure is at zero inside the cooker, about 15-20 minutes.
  • When indications show zero pressure in the cooker, pull off the weight then remove the lid.
  • Place the ribs on a foil lined baking sheet and brush with BBQ sauce of your choice or simply olive oil, then broil or if using a counter top oven, use the top coil on the highest setting, until the ribs are crisped and slightly charred.
  • Serve and enjoy with sides of your choice.

    I made these on 17 Sep 2018, and was actually thinking the family would not like this version of ribs, was I wrong! They loved these! One brother in law came to me to thank me for the ribs and the seasoned rice I made, he said both were outstanding! This will be a regular way to make ribs for the family now.
