Get ready to satisfy your cravings with these fall-off-the-bone tender Instant Pot Ribs!
Ingredients :
1 rack baby back ribs about 1 ½ to 2 pounds
1 cup chicken broth or water
½ teaspoon liquid smoke optional
4 cloves garlic sliced
1 onion sliced
6 tablespoons dry rub below
barbecue sauce optional
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons garlic powder
▢2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons dried oregano
Directions :
Rinse and pat dry the rack of ribs. Use a knife to lift the edge of the thin membrane from the back of the ribs and remove it.
Cut the slab into 2-3 pieces that are small enough to fit into the Instant Pot. Coat each piece generously with the dry rub mixture, and massage it into the meat.
Add a trivet or rack to the bottom of your Instant Pot and pour in broth or water, along with liquid smoke if using.
Stand the ribs upright on the trivet, so they are not stacked on top of one another. Sprinkle sliced onion and garlic over the ribs.
Close the Instant Pot lid and select manual high pressure. Set the timer for 22 minutes (25 minutes for extra meaty or side ribs).
Once the timer goes off, allow the Instant Pot to natural-release for 5 minutes. Open the valve to release any remaining pressure.
