Pressure Cooker BBQ Baby Back Ribs Recipe Instructions:
Prep the baby back ribs: Remove the thin membrane on the back of the ribs. If not removed, the dry rub won’t penetrate the meat all around the ribs & your ribs will be chewy. Use a butter knife to work the silverskin off the ribs in one area. Once you have removed from one spot, run your finger under the membrane & the membrane should pull off very easily. Cut the ribs in half to fit into pressure cooker easier- Pour apple juice and apple cider into pressure cooker pot.
- Place ribs in pressure cooker pot thick side down.
- Seal the pressure cooker and place release valve in seal position.
- Set cooker on meat/stew setting and set timer for 30 minutes.
- At end of cook time, leave on warm for 5 – 10 minutes.
- Then release the steam placing the valve in the release position. (Do not open cooker until all the steam has been released.)
- Remove ribs from pressure cooker and place on baking sheet.
- Cover with desired amount of BBQ sauce.
- Bake in 400 degree oven for 10 minutes.
Prep the baby back ribs:
Optional:Grill the ribs:While the pressure cooker releases, preheat the grill to medium-high or place in your broiler on high for the same effect. Grill the ribs over direct heat for 3-4 minutes per side, brushing them with your favorite BBQ sauce the whole time. This will not take long but will be just enough to get some nice grill marks & smoky char.
