Instant Pot Ribs

How to make fall off the bone Instant Pot Ribs. Easy method for baby back or spare ribs. So much faster and the sweet and savory dry rub is to die for!

Prep: 10min

Total: 50min

Yield: 4

Serving Size: 1 (of 4)

Nutrition Facts: servingSize 1 (of 4), calories 386 kcal, Carbohydrate 16 g, Protein 28 g, Fat 24 g, Saturated Fat 8 g, Cholesterol 98 mg, Fiber 1 g, Sugar 12 g, Trans Fat 0.2 g, unSaturated Fat 14 g

Ingredients:

• 1 rack baby back ribs or spare ribs (about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds*)
• 1 cup water
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 1/4 cup Homemade Barbecue Sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instruction:

1. Rinse the ribs and pat them dry. If your ribs still have the thin, shiny membrane on the back, remove it. (This is easy, don’t worry!) Flip the ribs over, meat-side down. Wiggle a dull knife (such as a butter knife) between the membrane and the ribs to loosen it. With a paper towel, grip the membrane and pull it away, then discard.
2. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne. Rub it all over the ribs, generously coating all of the sides.
3. Place the trivet (or rack) in the bottom of a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot. Pour in the water, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke. Place the ribs inside the pot, standing them on the trivet on their side and wrapping the rack around the inside of the pot like a circle.
4. Cover and seal the Instant Pot. For baby back ribs: Cook on high (manual) pressure for 23 minutes (if you are making multiple racks and your ribs are super meaty, increase to 25 minutes). Allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then vent to release the remaining pressure. For spare ribs: Cook on high for 35 minutes. Allow the pressure to naturally release completely (about 15 minutes). You will know it is released when the pin drops.
5. Towards the end of the ribs’ cook time, place a rack in the upper third of your oven and set it to broil. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Transfer the cooked ribs to the foil, then brush liberally with barbecue sauce. Place under the broiler just until the sauce begins to caramelize, about 2 minutes. Do not walk away to make sure the ribs don’t burn.
