For the Ribs

2 racks of pork ribs
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar

For the Sauce

1 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the Instant Pot by selecting the Sauté function.
2Add 1 cup of water to the inner pot.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Instant Pot Ribs

Can I use beef ribs instead of pork ribs?

You can use beef ribs instead of pork ribs, but the cooking time may need to be adjusted. Beef ribs are typically larger and tougher than pork ribs, so you may need to cook them for a longer period of time. I recommend cooking beef ribs for 30-35 minutes in the Instant Pot.

Can I freeze the cooked ribs?

Yes, you can freeze the cooked ribs. Allow the ribs to cool completely before wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. Place the wrapped ribs in a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw the ribs in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat in the oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through.

Can I make this recipe in the slow cooker?

While the Instant Pot is the best for this recipe, you can make it in the slow cooker instead. However, the cooking time will be much longer. Place the seasoned ribs in the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone. Then, brush with the sauce and broil in the oven for a few minutes to caramelize the sauce.

Can I use a different type of barbecue sauce?

Yes, you can use a different type of barbecue sauce if you prefer. Just make sure to adjust the amount of honey and apple cider vinegar to balance the flavors. You can also make your own barbecue sauce and use it in this recipe.

Can I make this recipe without the Instant Pot?

Yes, you can make this recipe without the Instant Pot. However, the cooking time will be much longer. Preheat the oven to 300°F and place the seasoned ribs in a baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone. Then, brush with the sauce and broil in the oven for a few minutes to caramelize the sauce.
