Directions
- 1
Layer thick onion rounds at the bottom of a 4.5L pressure cooker.
- 2
Add the first batch of beef ribs (600g) bone-side down, then sprinkle with half the coarse salt.
- 3
Cover with the bacon, add the bay leaves, then place the remaining ribs on top.
- 4
Sprinkle the rest of the coarse salt and crumble the broth cube over everything.
- 5
Add the sausage sliced into thick rounds, then top with potatoes and carrots cut into large chunks.
- 6
Seal the pressure cooker — no water or oil needed, the ingredients release their own juices.
- 7
Cook on high heat until pressure builds, then reduce to low and cook for 50 minutes.
- 8
Turn off the heat and let the sealed cooker rest for 10 minutes — the secret to extra-tender meat.
- 9
Carefully open the cooker, transfer to a serving dish and enjoy hot.
💡 Chef's Tip
Don't discard the cooking juices at the bottom — use them to make a rich sauce or a traditional Brazilian farofa (toasted cassava flour) for a perfectly crispy accompaniment.
