½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup chili powder
1 Tbs dried parsley
2 tsp salt
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 small or medium racks baby back ribs, membranes removed
1 cup water
½ cup apple cider vinegar
1 (12 oz) bottle barbecue sauce
Step 1: Mix brown sugar, chili powder, parsley, salt, garlic powder, pepper, cumin, onion powder, and paprika together in a bowl using a fork, breaking up any large clumps.
Step 2: Rub spice mixture over both sides of ribs.
Step 3: Place a steam rack inside a multi-functional pressure cooker. Pour water and cider vinegar into the bottom of the pot.
Step 4: Lower ribs into the pot (with bones vertical) by curving them around the edge. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer’s instructions; set the timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Step 5: Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
Step 6: Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; place ribs on the foil. Top with barbecue sauce.
Step 7: Broil ribs until sauce is bubbling, about 3 minutes.
