Keto BBQ Pork Spare Ribs
I got my barbecue shoes on (again)
We could not do a barbecue week without doing some ribs and I’ve got some pork spare ribs and we’re going to cook them up in a pressure cooker and then pan fry it with our Keto BBQ sauce and it’s going to be deelicious. Enjoy! Cheers!
There is no grill, no smoke and yes BBQ
I’m sure I’ve angered the imaginary BBQ gods and got the purists up in arms about my use of the pressure cooker. Call these mock BBQ if you want but trust me they are certainly delicious and have a fantastic finish. Sadly I live in India, in an apartment and I really can’t open up the BBQ pit in my bedroom or living room. So what do I do? I improvise and work with what I got. I find that even though the ribs are pressure cooked, they are just as tender and moist and with that finish in the wok where the sauce reduces and just coats the ribs, we’re got deliciousness.

Hi Sahil. I love your recipes. Did you add any liquid to your pressure cooker with the ribs?
I normally add a little bit
Hello from Australia.
My partner has made this a few times it is one of our favourites.
Thank you for sharing your recipes.
Sharon.
I used your recipe for the bbq sauce and it is great!! Thanks !!
I don’t have a pressure cooker? But I do have a steam oven could I do them in there? For how long?
I think that will work but since I’ve never used a steam oven myself I have no idea about cook times. Perhaps you can just google steam oven cook time for pork ribs that should throw up some useful links.
What is cold fry?
Means start the food in a cold pan
