Instant Pot Ribs

Step 1

Rinse ribs and pat dry. Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs.

Step 2

Cut slab into 2-3 pieces (enough so they fit into the Instant Pot) and coat with dry rub massaging it into the meat.

Step 3

Place trivet (or rack) in the bottom of your Instant Pot. Add broth or water and liquid smoke if using.

Step 4

Set ribs upright on the trivet (so they are not stacked on top of one another). Sprinkle with onion and garlic.

Step 5

Close lid and select manual pressure and set the timer for 23 minutes (25 minutes if they’re extra meaty). Once done, allow the instant pot to natural release for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Open valve to release remaining pressure.

Step 7

Brush with barbecue sauce (or olive oil/salt/pepper for dry ribs) and broil or grill until slightly charred.
