I needed to make some pork ribs relatively quickly last weekend for a
tailgating event, so I decided to use my pressure cooker and the oven
broiler to make faux BBQ ribs. They were pretty good but probably not
as tasty as slow smoked ribs. None of my beer guzzling friends seemed
to notice though.

They were ready in just about 35-40 minutes. It was a few minutes of
prep, a few minutes of browning, 15 minutes in the pressure cooker and
10 minutes broiling in the oven with the Memphis style dry spice rub
mixture on them.

I took pictures of the process. Here's the gallery -

This was the first time that I've used "liquid smoke" and it really
did add a nice smokey flavor to the ribs. The high pressure
environment in the pressure cooker did a good job of infusing the
liquid smoke deep into the meat.

Next time I'm going to try pressure cooking the ribs to shorten the
process and then smoke them on my gas grill with a smoker box filled
with hickory chips and beer. I'd also like to try using a "mop" to add
more flavor and keep the ribs moist while they grill.

Cheers,
Paul
