Instant Pot BBQ Ribs

Ingredients

• 2 racks baby back ribs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for glazing)

Method

1. 01

   Remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs.

2. 02

   In a small bowl, mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the ribs.

3. 03

   Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and heat the olive oil. Brown the ribs in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, then remove and set aside.

4. 04

   Pour the beef broth into the Instant Pot and deglaze the pot by scraping up any browned bits.

5. 05

   Stack the ribs in a criss-cross pattern inside the Instant Pot. Close the lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 25 minutes.

6. 06

   Perform a quick release and carefully remove the ribs.

7. 07

   Preheat your oven’s broiler. Brush the ribs with BBQ sauce and place them on a baking sheet. Broil for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.

8. 08

   Slice the ribs and serve with extra BBQ sauce.
