These Filipino Adobo-Style Ribs bring BBQ flavor without the need for grilling. The baby back ribs are pressure-steamed in an adobo broth with soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and bay leaves, then finished under the broiler for a sticky, caramelized perfection. A splash of liquid smoke mimics the grilled vibe, and they're glazed in rich banana ketchup BBQ sauce that combines sweet, smoky, and savory notes.

1: Season the baby back ribs generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. 2: Add soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaves, liquid smoke, onion, and whole garlic into a pressure cooker. 3: Place ribs on a trivet above the liquid in the pressure cooker. 4: Set the pressure cooker on high for 25 minutes to steam the ribs. 5: For BBQ glaze, sear whole garlic and onion, or add garlic and onion powder. 6: Add soy sauce, vinegar, banana ketchup, brown sugar, black pepper, and cornstarch to the seared mixture. 7: Simmer the glaze until thickened. 8: Remove ribs from the pressure cooker and completely coat them in the BBQ glaze. 9: Broil ribs at 550°F for about 5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning. 10: Remove when the glaze is bubbling and caramelized.
