2 teaspoons (4g) black pepper
1 teaspoon (2.4g) onion powder

⅛ cup (31ml) maple syrup
⅛ cup (31ml) honey
2 tablespoons (30ml) apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons (30ml) Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Prepare Baby Back Ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs with a butter knife and a paper towel.
  • Dry Rub Baby Back Ribs: Mix all the dry rub ingredients and rub it all over the baby back ribs. Then, set aside while you prepare other ingredients.
  • Pressure Cook Baby Back Ribs: Pour the homemade BBQ sauce into the pressure cooker. Add 2 - 3 drops of liquid smoke into the BBQ sauce. Place the baby back ribs into the BBQ sauce (see tips). *Pro Tip: If your Instant Pot is very sensitive to the "Burn Error", layer the Ketchup & Dijon mustard on top of the Ribs instead of mixing it into the BBQ sauce.Close lid and Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 16 - 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and Full Natural Release. Open the lid carefully.*Pro Tip: Adjust your cooking time according to your preference: 16 minutes (tender with a bit of chew) to 25 minutes (fall off the bone).
  • Preheat Oven: While the baby back ribs is cooking in the pressure cooker, preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Set Aside Baby Back Ribs: Carefully place the pressure cooked baby back ribs on a chopping board with kitchen tongs. Cover it with aluminum foil and set aside.
  • Filter the Fat (Optional Step): Filter the BBQ sauce with a strainer and remove the fat with an oil separator.
  • Reduce BBQ sauce: Place roughly chopped carrots into the BBQ sauce and bring your BBQ sauce to a simmer (Instant Pot: Press Sauté button once, then Adjust button to Saute Less Function).Continue to reduce and thicken the BBQ sauce by simmering until desired thickness (~6 - 8 mins). Occasionally, stir with a wooden spoon. Taste the seasoning of the BBQ sauce. Stir in more brown sugar and additional 1 - 2 drops of liquid smoke if necessary.
  • Apply Sauce and Finish in Oven or Grill: Brush the homemade BBQ sauce all over the baby back ribs on all sides including the bones with a silicone basting brush. Place the baby back ribs in the oven on the top rack for 10 - 15 minutes.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Serve the baby back ribs immediately with more homemade BBQ sauce along with the carrots.

PRESSURE COOKER BABY BACK RIBS RECIPE



Pressure Cooker Baby Back Ribs Recipe image

The BEST pressure cooker baby back ribs recipe! My dry rub for baby back ribs + a secret ingredient + perfected cooking time = the perfect juicy & tender ribs. You will love this recipe for pork ribs!

Provided by Jess Larson

Categories     Main Dishes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3-4-pound rack baby back pork ribs
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 cup water + 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
for serving: Your favorite BBQ sauce of choice, potato salad, coleslaw, cornbread, etc.
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
optional: 1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Add all listed dry rub ingredients to a small bowl. Stir to combine. Set aside, or store in an airtight container on your spice rack for up to 1 month.
  • There will be a thin membrane on the back of the ribs ("silverskin") that needs to be removed - otherwise the dry rub won't penetrate the meat all around the ribs & your ribs will be difficult to chew! I find it's easiest to use a butter knife (something with a blunt edge that is not sharp) to work the silverskin off the ribs in 1 spot. From there, slide your finger under the membrane & the silverskin should pull off very easily. Reference the photos provided in the blog post above if you need a visual. I also found this simple video tutorial to be very helpful!
  • Generously season the ribs all over with kosher salt, then sprinkle the dry rub all over the ribs, using your hands to lightly work the rub into the meat.
  • Add the water & liquid smoke mixture to the bowl of your electric pressure cooker. Fit the bowl with its trivet/rack. Place the prepared rack of ribs on the trivet/rack, bending as needed to fit into the bowl. Cover the pressure cooker, securely locking its lid into place & ensuring the vent is turned to its "sealing" position. Cook on low pressure for 30 minutes. Once the timer goes off, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10 minutes (literally just leave the pot for 10 minutes!) before carefully flicking the vent to its "venting" position to allow any residual pressure to release. The ribs will hold to the bone but will have a great fall-apart tender texture - perfect! Carefully transfer the ribs to a baking sheet or serving platter.
  • Optional: Grill the ribs: While the pressure cooker releases, preheat the grill to medium-high (approx. 600 degrees F). Grill the ribs over direct heat for 3-4 minutes per side, brushing them with your favorite BBQ sauce the whole time. You don't need to grill them very long, just enough to get some nice grill marks & smoky char.
  • the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce & BBQ sides. In our house, that's cornbread, potato salad & coleslaw - YUM. Enjoy!

PRESSURE COOKER BARBECUED BABY BACK RIBS RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Pressure Cooker Barbecued Baby Back Ribs Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 17

DRY RUB:
1 1/2 to 2 pounds baby back ribs, cut into 2-rib sections
3 tablespoons paprika (I reduced to 2-1/2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
SAUCE:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped fine
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Rub: Combine the ingredients and rub mixture evenly over the ribs. Sauce: Heat oil in the pressure cooker pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in ketchup, water, molasses, vinegar and mustard. Stir to combine. Cook for one minute (my additional step) Measure out and reserve one cup of the sauce. Arrange the ribs upright in the pot, with meaty sides facing outward, then pour reserved sauce over the ribs. Lock the pressure cooker lid in place and bring to high pressure over medium-high heat. As soon as the pot reaches high pressure, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 30 minutes adjusting heat as needed to maintain high pressure. Note: I set my electric pressure cooker to medium-high for 15 minutes, then let it do a natural pressure release for 15 minutes. Our ribs turned out perfectly. For a slow cooker, cook for 6 to 8 hours. Before serving: Preheat the broiler with the rack 6-inch below the flame. Remove ribs (meaty side up), with tongs, onto a foil-lined baking sheet with a baking rack set on top. Skim off the excess fat from the sauce, in the pot. Simmer the sauce until it is thickened, about 10 minutes, to equal about 2 cups. Brush the ribs with some of the sauce, flipping them over and brushing both sides. Starting with the meaty side up, broil until browned and sticky, for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Watch closely, as the sauce has sugar and can burn! Turn over a few times, adding additional sauce-- for a total of 10 to 15 minutes. Yum!

PRESSURE COOKER STICKY TAMARIND BABY BACK RIBS



Pressure Cooker Sticky Tamarind Baby Back Ribs image

These gingery sweet-and-sour glazed ribs are tender and intensely flavored - and pretty much impossible to stop eating once you start. The sauce also works well on spare-ribs if you'd like to substitute those here. Just reduce the cooking time by a few minutes on the pressure setting, or as much as an hour if using the slow cooker setting. This is one of 10 recipes from Melissa Clark's "Dinner in an Instant: 75 Modern Recipes for Your Pressure Cooker, Multicooker, and Instant Pot" (Clarkson Potter, 2017). Melissa Clark's "Dinner in an Instant" is available everywhere books are sold. Order your copy today.

Categories     dinner, cookbook exclusive, meat, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 to 5 pounds baby back ribs
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/4 cup tamarind paste or concentrate
1/4 cup fresh orange juice (from about 1/2 orange)
1/4 cup honey, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon grated lime zest
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 star anise pod
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as safflower or canola
4 small shallots, diced (about 1/3 cup)
1 1/2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, grated on a Microplane or minced

Steps:

  • Cut the ribs into chunks of 2 or 3 ribs, depending on their size, and place them in a large bowl. Toss with 1 teaspoon salt, and set aside while you prepare the sauce.
  • In a small bowl, combine the tamarind, orange juice, honey, soy sauce, lime zest and juice and star anise. Set aside.
  • Using the sauté function, heat the oil in the pressure cooker. Stir in the shallots and cook until they are starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger and garlic and cook until fragrant, another minute, then stir in the tamarind mixture. Bring to a simmer, and then scrape the sauce into the large bowl of ribs. Toss gently to combine.
  • Arrange the ribs standing up along the outer edge of the pressure cooker, making a ring with the meat side of the ribs facing out. Continue with the remaining ribs, arranging them to make concentric circles. Pour any remaining sauce over the ribs, cover and cook on high pressure for 32 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally.
  • Heat the broiler.
  • Transfer the ribs, meat-side down, to a rimmed baking sheet. Turn the pressure cooker to the sauté function and cook to reduce the sauce until it's thick, about 15 minutes; spoon the fat off the top when finished. Taste the sauce, and adjust the seasoning or add more honey if necessary; then brush the ribs with the sauce. Broil the ribs until they are charred in spots, 1 to 3 minutes. Then flip them over, brush with more sauce, and broil on that side until charred. Serve immediately, with more sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • To achieve fall-off-the-bone tenderness, cook the ribs for the full recommended time or even a little longer.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the ribs have reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) before removing them from the pressure cooker.
  • For a smoky flavor, add a few wood chips or a liquid smoke flavoring to the pressure cooker before cooking the ribs.
  • If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can also cook the ribs in a slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, or baked beans.

Conclusion:

Pressure-cooked baby back ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a rack of tender, flavorful ribs on the table in no time.
