Best Pressure Cooker Sticky BBQ Ribs Ever image

It's time to give back to the Allrecipes community for all they have given to me. This recipe is the culmination of learning how to make BBQ ribs for competition, plus learning from my family members who are all pressure cooker experts. The end result, after years of trial and error, will have everybody licking their fingers in complete ecstasy.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 quarts apple cider
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 racks baby back ribs, cut into individual ribs
2 (12 ounce) bottles BBQ sauce
6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce

Steps:

  • Pour apple cider into an 8-quart multi-functional electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) to about 1/2 inch below the rack line. Stir in garlic powder, salt, paprika, and pepper. Place rack inside and heat the liquid completely; place ribs on rack.
  • Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 27 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking pan with a roasting rack.
  • Pour about 2 cups BBQ sauce into a large cup. Add garlic, brown sugar, and chili sauce. Mix with a hand blender until completely smooth. Combine with the remaining BBQ sauce in a large bowl. Set aside to come to room temperature.
  • Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove ribs carefully and drain cooking liquid. Fully submerge each rib into the BBQ sauce. Place on the roasting rack so they are not touching. Brush extra BBQ sauce on top to make them extra sticky.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is set, 15 to 20 minutes.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 pounds baby back pork ribs (8 racks) or St. Louis-style spareribs (4 racks)
Low-salt chicken broth (optional)
1 1/2 cups store-bought or homemade barbecue sauce plus more

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl. Place each rack of ribs on a double layer of foil; sprinkle rub all over ribs. Wrap racks individually and divide between 2 baking sheets.
  • Bake ribs until very tender but not falling apart, about 2 hours for baby backs and 3 hours for spareribs. Carefully unwrap ribs; pour any juices from foil into a 4-cup heatproof measuring cup; reserve juices. Let ribs cool completely. DO AHEAD: Ribs can be baked up to 3 days ahead (the flavor will be more developed, and the cold ribs will hold together better on the grill as they heat through). Cover and chill juices. Rewrap ribs in foil and chill.
  • Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Add broth or water to rib juices, if needed, to measure 1 1/2 cups. Whisk in barbecue sauce to blend.
  • Grill ribs, basting with barbecue sauce mixture and turning frequently, until lacquered and charred in places and heated through, 7-10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; cut between ribs to separate. Transfer to a platter and serve with additional barbecue sauce.

BEST-EVER COUNTRY-STYLE RIBS



Best-Ever Country-Style Ribs image

I found this recipe years ago in a magazine and it has become a favorite. They are not only the best-ever, but also the easiest-ever. These finger-licking ribs start with a dry spice rub and end with an out-of-this-world sauce. And, they have one other distinct advantage: They're cooked mostly in advance, so they require very little last-minute tending. For a finishing touch, all you need to do is give them a quick crisping on the grill (or under the broiler.) Preparation time does not include marinating.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons dry rub seasonings, recipe follows (I usually use a little more)
4 lbs country-style pork ribs (I prefer bone-in, but you could use boneless)
3 cups ketchup
1 1/2 cups beer (beer is better) or 1 1/2 cups water (beer is better)
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon prepared mustard (such as French's yellow mustard)
2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark, doesn't matter)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Rub Dry Rub all over ribs. Place in a glass baking dish; cover and refrigerate several hours or, even better, overnight.
  • Stir together ketchup, beer (or water), vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar (add more, if you like your sauce sweeter), oregano, basil, thyme, and pepper in a medium-size bowl.
  • Transfer ribs to a 5-quart Dutch oven. Reserve 1 cup sauce for basting later; pour remainder over ribs. Cover pot and cook the ribs over low heat for about 45 minutes or until ribs are tender. (Ribs may be prepared up to a day ahead and refrigerated.).
  • Prepare grill or heat broiler. Remove ribs from sauce; discard sauce. Spread ribs with half the reserved sauce.
  • Cook ribs over medium coals (or medium direct heat on a gas grill) or broil until crispy and browned, about 5 minutes. Turn ribs over. Spread with remaining sauce. Cook 5 minutes more.
  • DRY RUB for COUNTRY-STYLE RIBS: Combine 2 tablespoons salt, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons dried lemon peel (found in the spice section of your supermarket), 3 tablespoons black pepper, and 1 tablespoon paprika in a small bowl. Store unused dry rub in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Look for ribs with good marbling and a nice layer of fat. Avoid ribs that are too thin or bony.
  • Season the ribs well: A good rub is essential for flavorful ribs. Use a blend of spices that you like, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: Ribs need time to cook properly. Cook them at a low temperature (225-250 degrees Fahrenheit) for several hours, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Baste the ribs regularly: Basting the ribs with a mixture of water, vinegar, and spices will help keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

With a little planning and effort, you can make delicious ribs at home. By following these tips, you'll be sure to impress your friends and family with your culinary skills. So fire up the grill or smoker and get cooking!
