Ingredients
1 kg semi-lean beef ribs
1 beef stock cube
1 beef stock cube
Where to find ingredients
You can find high-quality beef ribs at your local butcher or in the meat aisle of large supermarkets. Stock cubes are available in the cupboard essentials or seasonings section of any grocery store.
Preparation method
- Prepare your pressure cooker
- Place the beef ribs and the beef stock cube into the base of the pressure cooker
- Place over a medium-high heat and wait until it begins to simmer
- Begin the pressure cooking process
- Once the cooker reaches pressure, lower the heat and cook for 10 minutes
- Keep the pressure valve closed during this initial stage
- Incorporate the stock
- Carefully release the pressure, open the lid, and stir to ensure the dissolved stock coats the ribs thoroughly
- Continue the cooking process
- Close the lid securely and return to a boil
- Cook for a further 20 minutes over a low heat setting
- Check for doneness and serve
- Release the pressure carefully, open the lid, and check that the meat is fork-tender
- Serve immediately while hot
- Note: when preparing this, the bottom may appear slightly scorched, which is part of the process and adds to the flavour
- The ribs should achieve a roasted, barbecue-like appearance, which is particularly effective when using leaner cuts
Observations
Pressure-cooked beef ribs are a staple in home cooking for those who crave succulent, melt-in-the-mouth meat without the hours of oven-roasting. Using semi-lean beef ribs and a rich beef stock cube, this technique creates a deeply savoury dish that is both straightforward and rewarding. The pressure cooking process works by breaking down the connective tissues rapidly, resulting in a texture reminiscent of traditional slow-cooked barbecue. It is an ideal solution for a hearty, comforting meal that packs authentic, robust flavour into an efficient cooking window.
