Ribs Instant Pot

Ribs Instant Pot 

2 racks baby back ribs ( 1 pack ) 

1 cup broth 

1/2 tsp liquid smoke 

4 cloves garlic 

1 onion, sliced 

Dry Rub 

4 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp garlic powder 

1 tbsp parsley 

1 tbsp paprika

2 tsp kosher salt 

2 tsp cumin

1 tsp cayenne 

1 tsp dry mustard 

1/2 tsp pepper 

Rinse ribs and pat dry. Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs. Cut slabs into 3 pieces each so they can fit standing up and in the Instant Pot. Coat with dry rub massaging into the meat. 

Place trivet/rack in the bottom of your instant pot. Add broth and liquid smoke. Sit ribs upright in the trivet so they are standing next to each other and are not stacked on top of each other. Sprinkle with onion and garlic. 

Place lid on top, set to sealing and set pressure cook to 25 minutes. It will take approximately 15 minutes to come to pressure. Once done, allow for natural release for 15 minutes and turn valve to vent to release remaining pressure. 

Using tongs, carefully remove the ribs onto a baking sheet lined with foil. Generously brush your favourite BBQ sauce on both sides. 

To finish on the grill:  preheat grill to medium high heat and slightly oil the grill using a paper towel soaked in oil. Grill the ribs until nice and crispy about 10 minutes, turning halfway through. 

To finish in the oven:  preheat the broiler. Broil 5-7 minutes, watching carefully not to burn.
