Ingredients for Vienna Country Style Ribs For Pressure Cooker

  • Country Style Pork Ribs
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Light Olive Oil
  • Onion
  • Beer

How to Make Vienna Country Style Ribs For Pressure Cooker

  1. Pat 2.5 lbs country-style pork ribs dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  3. Generously rub the mustard mixture all over the ribs.
  4. Set your pressure cooker to the “sauté” function. Brown the ribs in batches, ensuring all sides are nicely browned. This will take about 5-7 minutes total.
  5. Remove the browned ribs and set aside. Wipe out any excess grease from the pressure cooker.
  6. Add 1 large (about 1 cup sliced) yellow onion to the pressure cooker.
  7. Pour in 1 cup of beer (or chicken broth/water – check your pressure cooker manual for liquid requirements).
  8. Return the ribs to the pressure cooker, ensuring they are nestled comfortably.
  9. Secure the pressure cooker lid and set the valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.
  10. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 20 minutes, then carefully quick release any remaining pressure.
  11. Carefully remove the ribs from the pressure cooker. Serve immediately over cooked rice. Discard cooking liquid.
  12. For even more flavor, consider adding a splash of apple cider vinegar or Worcestershire sauce during the cooking process (step 7).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
