Meaty short ribs are browned in the oven and then pressure cooked in a rich sauce until they are so tender they are falling off the bone.

5 1/2 pounds beef short ribs
1 bottle (12 ounce size) chili sauce
1/2 cup water
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons wine vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke, optional
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil.
Place the short ribs on the broiler pan and bake at 450 degrees F for 30 minutes, turning the ribs over halfway through the cooking time.
Combine the chili sauce, water, onion, garlic, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, mustard, Tabasco, and liquid smoke in a bowl. Mix well.
Pour about half of the chili sauce mixture into the pressure cooker. Place the ribs in the cooker then cover with the remaining sauce.
Close the lid and lock in place. Set the pressure cooker to cook for 35 minutes. When done, let it sit for 5 minutes then use the quick release method to release the steam.
Remove the lid and transfer the ribs to a serving platter. Skim off any excess fat from the sauce. Serve the sauce with the ribs.
