In a pressure cooker, heat oil and seal ribs loaded with beef. If we don’t find them, we can replace it with chamberete, beef pulp or pork spine.

When the ribs are golden on both sides, pour the chili sauce over them by passing it through a sieve. Season with a little salt and when it starts to boil add the corn and 2 liters of water (or a little less) taking care not to exceed the maximum capacity line of the pressure cooker. We close the pot and count 30 minutes after the pot starts to whistle, at which time we will reduce the heat to minimum.

We can do it in a common pot by increasing the cooking time or we can even do it in a slow cooker, without adding extra liquid, for 4 hours at high temperature.
