Number Of Ingredients 15

RUB:
1 (4-pound) rack of baby back pork ribs
rub (recipe below), or 1/2 cup Neely's BBQ Seasoning or to taste
1 cup water
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke, optional
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

Remove the lining from the bottom side of the ribs by running a butter knife under the skin and then using a paper towel to grip and remove completely. Mix rub ingredients together and rub onto the ribs. Or rub Neely's BBQ Seasoning onto the ribs. Place the rack in your pressure cooker and place the ribs inside the pot, standing on their side, wrapping around the inside of the pot. Pour in the water, apple cider, and liquid smoke (if using), being careful to not wash off any of the seasonings. Secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed. Press the Meat button and set to 25 minutes. Let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick release the rest of the way. Carefully remove the ribs from the pressure cooker and set on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush down with your favorite BBQ sauce, and pop under the broiler for 5 minutes, but keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn. NOTE: You can double the recipe, by wrapping the second rack of ribs around the first. Just double the spices, but keep the same amount of liquid underneath.
