Tools Used

  • Electric Pressure Cooker

Ingredients

  • 1 rack ribs One rack weighs about 3 pounds. Pork babyback or spare ribs or Beef ribs would work great.

Dry Spice Rub

  • 1 tablespoon kosher or other coarse salt
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1½ teaspoons brown sugar

Cooking Liquid

  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

For the Dry Rub

  • Measure and mix all spices together in a small glass bowl.

For the Ribs

  • Rinse ribs and pat dry with a paper towel. Place on a baking sheet. If ribs still have membrane intact, remove it by inserting a knife underneath and pulling upward. Rub spice mix over all sides of the meat.
  • Place trivet in stainless steel insert of Instant Pot. Pour cooking liquid into pot. Place rack of ribs on trivet, standing up and forming a circle.
  • Place lid on Instant Pot and close it. Check steam release valve to make sure it is set to [Sealing] for pressure cooking.
  • Set pressure cooking program to [Pressure Cook] or [Manual] or [Meat/Stew].
  • Adjust Pressure Level to [High] pressure.
  • Set pressure cooking time to 23 minutes by pressing the [+] or [-] buttons. When pressure cooking time is finished, allow pressure to naturally release for 10-15 minutes. Then release any remaining pressure by turning the Steam Release Valve to [Venting].
  • Set oven to Broil at 500°F. Open lid of pot and remove ribs and place on a broiler pan. Brush with your favorite barbecue sauce. Place ribs under broiler and crisp for 3-5 minutes. Do not take your eyes off the ribs while they are broiling. Remove from heat when sauce is bubbly and slightly crisped. Cut into serving-sized pieces and enjoy!
