Steps:

1. Ninja Cooking System
2. Stir your paprika, brown sugar, cayenne and Arizona Dreaming spice together in a bowl. Rinse off your ribs in water and pat dry. Then rub ribs with mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Pour oil into pot and heat. Set your Ninja to STOVETOP HIGH and wait till oil is hot. Add one half of ribs to pot and sear for 5 minutes till browned on both sides. Do the same for the other half.
4. Remove ribs from pot and place on a plate till you are ready to cook.
5. Pour your 3 cups of broth or mixture of water and beer or just water into the Ninja. Place your roasting rack down inside the water and your ribs on rack. Set OVEN TO 375 degrees for 1 hour. Cover and cook until pork is fork tender. Uncover pot and brush ribs with your choice of BBQ sauce. Set OVEN TO 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Cover and cook until sauce is hot. (I took mine out at 20 minutes).
6. Place on a plate and cover with tinfoil until ready to serve.
7. Heat up some BBQ sauce for the ribs. When ready to serve slice up ribs for plating and then drizzle some addt'l sauce on top or place some in a bowl for dipping.
8. These ribs were so tender, moist and delicious...the steam cooking really cooked them up fast. I was very impressed with the Ninja.
9. The meat really did fall of the bones. :-)
