Instant Pot Ribs

I have done ribs in my crockpot for years and they are pretty yummy - I have a recipe on here for those. I just tried this new recipe in my instant pot and it was way faster and the added rub just add so much flavor. They were so fall-apart tender that I had a hard time lifting them out of the instant pot. So good! We really loved these. You can find the recipe HERE

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons ground mustard
• 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 (2-pound) racks baby back pork ribs, trimmed of excess fat, rinsed, and patted dry
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups barbecue sauce (My favorite is Sweet Baby Rays) 

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, salt, onion powder, chili powder, mustard, paprika, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, black pepper, cumin and cayenne pepper.
2. Remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs, pulling it down the entire length. Season ribs with brown sugar mixture, rubbing in thoroughly on both sides.
3. Add chicken stock and apple cider vinegar to a 6 or 8-qt Instant Pot®. Place metal trivet into the pot. Place ribs upright on top of the trivet, wrapping in a circle.
4. Select manual setting (or pressure cook) and set time for 20-25 minutes. When finished cooking, do a natural release for about 10 mins. Then carefully open valve to let any remaining pressure out. 
5. Preheat oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with foil.
6. Place ribs, meat side up, in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet; brush with barbecue sauce. 
7. Place into oven and broil until barbecue sauce is caramelized and browned, about 4-6 minutes.
8. Serve immediately with remaining barbecue sauce.
