Ingredients:
- 3-4 lbs beef back ribs or short ribs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Season the ribs: In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the beef ribs to coat them evenly.
- Sear the ribs: Heat the olive oil in the pressure cooker on the sauté setting. Working in batches, sear the ribs on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the ribs and set them aside.
- Prepare the pressure cooker: Pour the beef broth and apple cider vinegar into the pressure cooker, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Return the ribs to the pressure cooker and secure the lid.
- Cook the ribs: Set the pressure cooker to high pressure and cook for 35-40 minutes. Once done, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
- Sauce and broil: Preheat your oven broiler. Remove the ribs from the pressure cooker and brush them generously with barbecue sauce. Place the ribs on a baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes, until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.
- Serve: Serve the ribs hot, with extra barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.
