Recipe:
1 rack ribs spare ribs or baby back ribs
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon smoked paprika or additional paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup apple juice
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke optional
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
Directions:
Mix together brown sugar, paprika, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a small bowl.
Remove the membrane from the ribs. At one end of the rack, slide a dinner knife under the membrane and over a bone then lift until the membrane loosens. Grab the edge of the membrane and pull it off--it may come off in several pieces.
Generously rub the spice blend over the entire surface of the ribs.
Place trivet in pressure cooker. Pour in apple juice into bottom of inner pot. Add liquid smoke. Roll ribs in a circle and place on trivet in pressure cooker. Place lid on pressure cooker and be sure vent knob is pointed towards sealed.
Cook ribs on High Pressure. For Baby Back Ribs set cook time to 25 minutes. For Spare Ribs set cook time for 35 minutes. To set cook time, hit manual or pressure cook and use +/- buttons to adjust cook time.
Once cook time has elapsed, allow pressure to release naturally for at least 15 minutes.
Optional Step: Place cooked ribs on sheet/broiler pan. Brush with your favorite barbecue sauce. Broil under high heat for 3-4 minutes. Flip, brush with more BBQ sauce and broil for 3-4 minutes on other side.
