Directions
- 1
Season the beef ribs lightly with salt and set aside for 10 minutes.
- 2
Peel the onions and slice them into thick rings.
- 3
Cover the bottom of the pressure cooker with half the onion slices and the bay leaf.
- 4
Place the seasoned ribs on top, then scatter the diced bacon evenly over the meat.
- 5
Cover everything with the remaining onion slices and seal the pressure cooker lid tightly.
- 6
Cook over medium heat for 45 minutes — do not add water, the onions and meat release plenty of liquid on their own.
- 7
Allow pressure to release naturally, open carefully, and serve with the rich cooking juices.
💡 Chef's Tip
For even richer flavor, let the sealed pressure cooker rest off the heat for 10 minutes before opening. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes or steamed white rice.
