When you’re a working adult, you sometimes don’t have time to prepare an elaborate meal.  Sure, I would love to have the time and energy to make a lasagna from scratch on a weeknight, but the reality is that it’s a miracle that I even pack tomorrow’s lunch before bed some days.  Let’s face it, there are just going to be some days where your need for a hot meal can be overridden if it means putting in more effort than just opening a few jars and dumping things in a pot.  That’s where these boneless BBQ pork ribs come in.

Originally, I had picked up a pack of boneless pork ribs at the grocery store to make some bacon wrapped ribs.  Well, when the weekend rolled around, I decided that I really didn’t feel like babysitting a smoker (and then cleaning it afterward).  So, I wound up cooking them in the pressure cooker instead.  As it turns out, they were pretty tasty and flavorful when cooked this way, and came together with hardly any effort.

Arrange your dry-rubbed ribs in the liner of your pressure cooker.  Add some apple cider vinegar and your favorite barbecue sauce, then seal and cook for 15-20 minutes.  When the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes before you release any remaining pressure.

When they are done, your ribs will have released a lot of liquid.  Just set the pot to Saute (Browning) and let the liquid reduce for a few minutes.  For me, it usually takes about 10 minutes to get the right consistency.

Check out that thick, bubbling goodness!

And there you have it.  Easy, right?  Just serve with your favorite side, and you’re good to go!

Pressure Cooker Boneless BBQ Pork Ribs

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs boneless pork ribs (I get the ones labeled “country style”)
• 2 tbsp of your favorite BBQ rub (more or less to taste)
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce

Directions

Sprinkle seasoning over pork ribs, turning to cover all sides.  Place in a single layer in the liner of your pressure cooker.  Add the vinegar and BBQ sauce on top.

Cover and seal the pressure cooker.  Cook on Manual (High Pressure) for 15-20 minutes (depending on the thickness of the ribs).  Allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10 minutes before releasing the remaining pressure.  Uncover and set the pressure cooker to the Saute setting.  Let the ribs simmer until the sauce has reduced.

Makes about 4 servings
