Equipment
- 1 pressure cooker
Ingredients
- 3-4 lbs ribs
- 3/4 cup ketchup I use no-sugar Heinz ketchup
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup sweetener monk fruit/erythritol blend or brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
- 11/2 tbsp salt
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 1/2 tsp chilli powder
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper optional
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper or to taste
For the final step
- 1/4 cup ketchup I use no-sugar Heinz ketchup
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce sugar free
- 2 tsp sweetener or brown sugar
Instructions
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by using a sharp knife to loosen it at one end, then grab it with a paper towel and pull it off.
- Cut the racks of ribs into single or double pieces so that they fit comfortably in your pressure cooker.
- Combine and pour everything into the cooker, and then cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
- Once the timer goes off, allow for a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then switch the valve to the venting position to release any remaining pressure.
- To finish the ribs, carefully remove them from the pressure cooker and place them on a baking sheet.
- Mix the barbecue sauce, sweetener, and ketchup in a bowl then brush all over the ribs. Broil in the oven for 3-4 minutes until the sauce is caramelized and bubbly. Alternatively, you can grill the ribs over high heat for a few minutes on each side.
- Serve and enjoy!
