#16 PC Western Ribs, 5/29/18, #2 PC recipe

I thought I made western ribs in the pressure cooker but if I did I can't find the post.

They are so tender in the pressure cooker. Hubby sears them on the grill first then I toss them in, but that isn't a requirement to the recipe.

Western Ribs in the Pressure Cooker

INGREDIENTS

• 3 pounds pork shoulder western ribs (or cut a pork shoulder into 1½-inch thick strips, or pork shoulder chops)
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt or 1½ teaspoons table salt
• 1 teaspoon barbecue rub 
• ½ cup water
• ½ cup barbecue sauce for the cooker, plus 1/2 cup barbecue sauce to stir in at the end 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare the ribs: Sprinkle the ribs evenly with the kosher salt and the barbecue rub.
2. Everything in the pot: Pour the 1/2 cup water into the pressure cooker pot, add the ribs, and then pour 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce over the ribs. (Don’t stir – we want the sweet barbecue sauce to float on top to keep it from burning.)
3. Pressure cook the ribs: Lock the lid on the pressure cooker and cook at high pressure for 45 minutes in an electric PC or 40 minutes in a stovetop PC. Let the pressure release naturally, about 15 minutes.
4. Serve: Remove the ribs to a platter. Spoon 1/2 cup of the liquid from the pot into a measuring cup. (If you have time, pour all the liquid from the pot into a fat separator and let rest for ten minutes, then pour 1/2 cup of the defatted juices into a measuring cup). Stir 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce into the juices in the measuring cup. Serve, passing the juices/sauce at the table.
