Place the baby back ribs into the BBQ sauce (see tips). *Pro Tip: If your Instant Pot is very sensitive to the "Burn Error", layer the Ketchup & Dijon mustard on top of the Ribs instead of mixing it into the BBQ sauce.Close lid and Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 16 - 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and Full Natural Release. Open the lid carefully.*Pro Tip: Adjust your cooking time according to your preference: 16 minutes (tender with a bit of chew) to 25 minutes (fall off the bone).

  • Filter the Fat (Optional Step): Filter the BBQ sauce with a strainer and remove the fat with an oil separator.
  • Reduce BBQ sauce: Place roughly chopped carrots into the BBQ sauce and bring your BBQ sauce to a simmer (Instant Pot: Press Sauté button once, then Adjust button to Saute Less Function).Continue to reduce and thicken the BBQ sauce by simmering until desired thickness (~6 - 8 mins). Occasionally, stir with a wooden spoon. Taste the seasoning of the BBQ sauce. Stir in more brown sugar and additional 1 - 2 drops of liquid smoke if necessary.
  • Apply Sauce and Finish in Oven or Grill: Brush the homemade BBQ sauce all over the baby back ribs on all sides including the bones with a silicone basting brush. Place the baby back ribs in the oven on the top rack for 10 - 15 minutes.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Serve the baby back ribs immediately with more homemade BBQ sauce along with the carrots.

STICKIEST EVER BBQ RIBS WITH CHIVE DIP



Stickiest ever BBQ ribs with chive dip image

Slow cook these American-style pork ribs so they're really tender then coat in an irresistibly sweet, sticky sauce

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Main course

Time 4h10m

Yield Serves 4 or 8 with other bbq food

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 racks baby back pork ribs
2 cans cola
2 tsp toasted sesame seed (optional)
8 tbsp tomato ketchup
8 tbsp soft brown sugar
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
1 tsp paprika
300ml pot half-fat soured cream
2 tbsp salad cream
small bunch chive, snipped
6 spring onions, sliced

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and snugly fit the ribs into a roasting tin. Pour over the cola and enough water to cover the ribs, then cover the tin tightly with foil. Roast for 2-3 hrs, turning halfway through, until the ribs are really tender but not falling apart.
  • Meanwhile, put all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Gently heat, then bubble for about 2 mins, stirring.
  • When the ribs are done, carefully lift each out of the tin and sit on kitchen paper to dry. Tip away the liquid and wipe out the tin. Put the dry ribs back in the tin and coat all over with the sticky sauce. Cover and chill for at least 1 hr to marinate, but better still up to 24 hrs. Can be frozen at this stage.
  • Mix the dip ingredients together and chill until ready to serve.
  • Heat the barbecue and wait for the flames to die down, or heat oven to 220C/200C/gas 7. Add the ribs (in a roasting tin, if using the oven) and cook for 20 mins, turning occasionally, and basting often with remaining sauce. When ribs are sticky, hot through and crisping on the outside, slice to serve. Scatter with sesame seeds, if you like, and plate up with any remaining sticky sauce, warmed, and the chive dip.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Look for meaty ribs with good marbling. Avoid ribs that are too thin or have a lot of bone.
  • Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim any excess fat. Cut the ribs into individual pieces if desired.
  • Use a good quality BBQ sauce: Choose a sauce that is thick and flavorful. You can use your favorite store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Cook the ribs on low pressure: This will help to tenderize the ribs and prevent them from drying out.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Pressure cooker sticky BBQ ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your ribs turn out perfect every time.
