Where to find ingredients
You can source fresh, high-quality beef ribs from local butcher shops (often referred to as 'butcheries') or the meat counter at major supermarket chains found in Gaborone and across Botswana. Ensure you ask for ribs with a moderate fat content for the best results. Beef bouillon cubes are readily available in the spice or soup aisles of any local grocery store.
Preparation method
- Prepare the pressure cooker.
- Place the beef ribs and the beef bouillon cube into the pressure cooker.
- Place over medium heat and wait until it begins to simmer.
- Start the cooking process for the ribs.
- Once the cooker reaches pressure and starts hissing, cook for 10 minutes.
- There is no need to release the pressure manually at this stage.
- Mix the broth.
- Open the cooker carefully and stir to ensure the bouillon is well incorporated into the juices.
- Begin the final cooking stage.
- Close the cooker lid once again and bring back to a simmer.
- Cook for a further 20 minutes over low heat.
- Finish and serve.
- Open the cooker and check if the meat is tender.
- Serve while hot.
- Note: During the cooking process, it may smell as if it is searing, which is completely normal.
- The final result should have a charred, barbecue-like appearance, especially if using leaner cuts.
