Instant Pot Country Style Ribs

 

Ingredients 

3 lb. boneless country style pork ribs

2 tbsp. dry rub seasoning mix

1/2 C BBQ sauce + more to baste after cooking

1 C beef or chicken broth

Directions

1) Spread the dry rub mixture on both sides of the boneless country style ribs. 

2) Pour the broth into the bottom of your instant pot. 

3) Add the ribs to your instant pot using tongs. 

4) Pour about 1/2 C of BBQ sauce onto the ribs and spread the sauce evenly with a rubber tip basting brush. 

5) Cook on high temperature for 45 minutes on the manual/pressure cook setting (depending on your Instant Pot model) 

6) Natural release the pressure for 15 minutes. 

7) Remove the ribs carefully and baste them with more sauce if desired. 

8) Optional: Broil the ribs for 3-5 minutes to give them a grilled appearance. 

Prep: 15 minutes

Cook: 45 minutes

Total: 1 hour

Serves: 12 

- You can take the ribs out of the fridge 15-30 minutes before cooking, taking the chill off them helps the ribs to cook more evenly. 

- Instead of doing a quick broil at the end, serve the ribs straight from the pressure cooker. Browning on a grill is another option. 

- Boneless country style ribs also make a great substitution for pulled pork instead of using pork butt. 

- Make the ribs healthier by using a homemade rub without sugar and BBQ sauce that doesn't have it either. 

- If you're running low on BBQ sauce, don't add it to the pot and just pressure cook the recipe in broth. And then save the BBQ to baste on after the cooking. 

- If your ribs have bones, just add a few more minutes to the cooking time.
