Directions
- 1
Place the beef ribs and crumbled bouillon cube directly into the pressure cooker — no water added.
- 2
Seal the lid and heat over high heat. Once the valve starts hissing, reduce to medium heat and cook for 10 minutes.
- 3
Remove from heat and let the pressure release naturally. Open the lid and stir well so the broth coats all the meat.
- 4
Seal the lid again, bring back to pressure and cook for another 20 minutes over medium heat.
- 5
Release pressure naturally, open and serve immediately. The meat should fall easily off the bone.
💡 Chef's Tip
Don't be alarmed by a slight burning smell at the start — this is completely normal and is what gives the ribs their barbecue-like depth. Always use semi-lean ribs: too fatty and the meat turns boiled; too lean and it may dry out.
