Dry-Rubbed Baby Back Ribs with BBQ Sauce
Serves 2

Ingredients:
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons salt
1½ pounds baby back ribs (about 1 rack), cut into 3-rib sections
1 to 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
½ onion, chopped
1 bay leaf

Sauce:
1 cup beef stock
1 cup tomato ketchup
2 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon tomato paste
½ teaspoon soy sauce

Directions:
1. Combine the first 6 ingredients to make the dry rub spice blend, and rub the spice blend all over the rib sections.
2. Pre-heat the pressure cooker using the BROWN setting.
3. Add the oil to the cooker and brown the ribs in batches. (Alternately, you can do this in a pan on the stovetop.) Remove the ribs and set aside. Add the onion and bay leaf to the cooker and sauté until the onion starts to soften slightly – about 5 minutes. Pour in the beef stock and place a rack in the bottom of the cooker. Place the browned ribs on the rack, and lock the lid in place. It’s ok to pile the ribs on top of each other in an uneven manner, or to place the ribs in standing up vertically.
4. Pressure cook on HIGH for 30 to 40 minutes.
5. While the ribs are cooking, combine the ketchup, molasses, cider vinegar, tomato paste and soy sauce in a small bowl.
6. Let the pressure drop NATURALLY and carefully remove the lid. Remove the ribs and let them rest on a side plate. While the ribs are resting, pour the ketchup mixture into the cooker with the cooking liquid and return the cooker to the BROWN setting. Simmer the sauce ingredients for about 5 minutes and then return the ribs to the sauce to coat and serve.

Just a small tip. Cut the ribs before seasoning. That way you coat the sides of the ribs that you just cut

I think when pulling them out of pressure cooker, then glazing with sauce, and putting in oven to caramelize towards the end would be even better.

After seeing several ways to cook Baby Back Ribs on a pressure cooker I like your method of how to do that. I have cooked outside on various pits and smokers and I love to do that. I bought my wife Sonya a Power Pressure Cooker and showed her about pressure cooking and she is hooked. Thanks for that post.

Just made these and they came out awesome! Only thing I did different was I put them in my halogen oven for 7 minutes at 400F just to get my sauce to crust up. otherwise Ms Laurence technique made for some tender ribs indeed...btw where i live it is SCORCHING hot outside but the pressure cooker did not heat up the kitchen as they always promise on TV

I made this but also grilled (broiled) the meat basting it till it formed a nice slightly crunchy bark. I used a boneless rib roast cut into portions but it worked out superbly. Then served in a dish atop of sauce but not much. Sauce was served in a jug like gravy as some like less than others. All in all amazing flavours.

I made ribs tonight 'your style' with my stove top pressure cooker, plus added some extras: drizzled also a bit liquid smoke on the ribs and let it sit a few minutes before adding the dry rub, and at the end I put a handful of fresh pineapple cubes in the blender and mixed it into the sauce before reducing. O.M.G. No need to put it under the broiler anymore. Thank you for posting.

Very nice recipe. Need to make it diabetic friendly.

[AKitchenAdvisor]

Quick and easy recipe:-) I would make it with Apple juice as it makes fibers much more tender.

[ronhart]

Very nice job, very well explained! Thank you

BRAVO BRAVO unbelievably professional video. Simply beautiful

[darlenerothenay]

Your video was so great. Would the timing be the same for Country Style Pork Ribs? I made that kind and they were tough. PLEASE HELP!

[carolynsadler]

Absolutely delicious well explained and demonstrated, Thanks !

Im thinking next time ill do 20 mins with quick release and see cuz both times ive cooked em into mush. I want ribs not pulled pork

[katemedley]

oh my gosh! I just made these tonight and my husband and I LOVE IT

[cliffcox]

I think a lesser time as well, with natural release. Like 20 min. 30 min with my Fissler, makes meat too soft.

[celyl]

we just did a test, 1 pressure cooker, 2 smoked for 5 hours, 3 bbq. Number 1 won :)

[GrandpaCanCook]

These look really great and I will be cooking them soon. I also like the look of your BBQ sauce recipe. If they taste 1/2 as good as they look I will be a happy man, with a happy wife.

[PipenFalzy]

Not sure the difference for cooking times between pork and beef but 2 racks of pork only take 15 min. 40 mins seems kinda long.

[fmjfrazier]

Can I use the rack that came with my silicone set for the meat rack if I do not have the metal rack?

[kevinmcmullen]

My wife loves catalina pork chops, that i usually do on the grill. I was wondering because we got the cooks essential 4 qt pressure cooker how i could do those pork chops in catalina in the pressure cooker without having to marinade them first and how long i would cook them for, cause i have never used a pressure cooker before. Any help would be appreciated. How i do the mon the grill is put them and the catalina in a gallon size ziplock bag let them marinade then grill them.
