Directions

1
Peel and quarter the onions. Arrange them in an even layer on the bottom of the pressure cooker.
2
Place the beef rib pieces on top of the onion bed. Crumble 2 bouillon cubes over the meat.
3
Peel the potatoes, cut into quarters, and layer them on top of the ribs. Crumble the third bouillon cube over the potatoes and add the bay leaf.
4
Seal the pressure cooker lid. Cook over high heat until the valve begins to whistle and release steam.
5
Reduce to the lowest heat and cook for 40 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally before opening. Serve hot.

💡 Chef's Tip

For extra depth of flavor, sear the ribs in a little oil before adding them to the pressure cooker. A carrot or two will naturally sweeten and enrich the broth.
