Apple Braised St. Louis Ribs

(from desert.rose32’s recipe box)

Categories: Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 1 12 rib rack St. Louis Style Pork Ribs
  • 3 Tbsp H‑E‑B Texas Style BBQ Rub
  • 2 Tbsp H‑E‑B Grapeseed Oil
  • 1 small red onion, about 1.5 cups rough chopped
  • 1 medium gala apple, rough chopped
  • 1 cup(s) apple cider
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 3/4 cup(s) BBQ sauce

Directions

  1. Using a sharp knife, make a small cut along the bone through the tough membrane on the back of ribs. Grab membrane firmly with a paper towel and pull firmly to “skin” the back of the ribs, season well with rub.

  2. Turn heat to medium-high adding oil to pressure cooker. Sear ribs well on all sides, then remove.

  3. Turning heat to low, place onion and apple chunks in pressure cooker, then add cider and vinegar. Place ribs on top of apple/onion mixture, keeping ribs below maximum fill line of pressure cooker.

  4. Seal pressure cooker according to manufacturer’s instructions. Bring to a simmer and cook for 25 to 30 minutes under pressure.

  5. Turn heat off and let ribs sit for 5 minutes. Vent pressure slowly.

  6. Preheat oven or grill to 450ºF. Lay ribs out on a flat baking sheet. Spoon sauce gently onto ribs and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, just long enough to brown ribs and warm sauce through.

  7. Chef’s Note: If using an Instant pot cooker use a 25 minute cooking time.
