Pressure Cooker Barbecue Root Beer Ribs

This recipe comes together in a fraction of the time it takes to make traditional ribs, but they’re every bit as tender and delicious.

Ingredients

    • 1 rack (about 3 lbs./1.5 kg) pork loin back ribs (baby back ribs)
    • 3 tbsp (45 mL) Smoky Barbecue Rub
    • 6 oz. (175 mL) root beer
    • 1 cup (250 mL) barbecue sauce

Directions

  1. Remove the membrane from the rack of ribs (see cook’s tip).
  2. Season both sides of the ribs with the rub, then cut between the bones to separate into four portions to fit into the inner pot.
  3. Add the root beer and ribs to the inner pot of the Deluxe Multi Cooker. Lock the lid, select the BEEF/PORK setting, and press START.
  4. When the timer is up, let the steam release naturally for 10 minutes. Press the steam-release button to release any remaining pressure. Remove the ribs and keep warm.* Press CANCEL.
  5. Reserve 1 cup (250 mL) of the juices in the inner pot.* Stir together the barbecue sauce and reserved juices in the pressure cooker, select the SEAR setting, and press START. Bring the sauce to a boil and cook uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.* Press CANCEL. Brush the ribs with ½ cup (125 mL) of the sauce. Serve the remaining sauce with the ribs.
