Directions
- 1
Line the bottom of the pressure cooker with the sliced bacon — no oil needed.
- 2
Place the beef ribs on top of the bacon, bone-side down.
- 3
Scatter the onion rings over the meat, then crumble the bouillon cubes on top and sprinkle the all-purpose seasoning.
- 4
Season with salt, fresh parsley, chives, and black pepper to your liking.
- 5
Optionally, add tomato and bell pepper slices around the meat for extra flavor.
- 6
Seal the pressure cooker and bring to high heat. Once the valve starts hissing, lower the heat and cook for 45–50 minutes.
- 7
Allow the pressure to release naturally before opening. The meat should pull away from the bone easily.
💡 Chef's Tip
No water required — the bacon fat and onions release enough moisture to cook everything perfectly. For deeper flavor, quickly sear the ribs before assembling. Leftovers taste even better the next day!
