Kiss the Cook Baby Back Ribs (Pork) - Pressure Cooker

These fall-off-the bone ribs are a family favorite for sure!

I paired these ribs with broccoli casserole. Potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans, or corn-on-the-cob would be delicious sides, as well.

1 TBS paprika

1 TBS light brown sugar

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1 1/2 tsp salt

3/4 tsp black pepper

1-2 racks baby back ribs, cut to fit into cooker

1 1/2 cups chicken stock or broth 

2 TBS ketchup

1 (18oz) bottle BBQ sauce (use half of the bottle for 1 rack of ribs)

In a small bowl, combine paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.  Rub the mixture evenly over the entire surface of the ribs.

Place rubbed ribs, chicken stock and ketchup in a 6 quart or 8 quart pressure cooker.  Securely lock the cooker's lid and set for 15 minutes on HIGH.

Let the pressure cooker's pressure release naturally for 15 minutes before performing a quick release to release any remaining pressure.

Grill the cooked ribs using a preheated grill for 15 minutes, flipping over, and basting with barbecue sauce twice. 

NOTE:  After the pressure cooker step, you can also prepare these in the oven instead of finishing them on the grill.  Simply preheat oven to 375F.  Bake on an aluminum-lined sheet pan for 20-25 minutes.

Serves 4-8 (depending on if you make 1 or 2 racks of ribs)
