Place the baby back ribs into the BBQ sauce (see tips). *Pro Tip: If your Instant Pot is very sensitive to the "Burn Error", layer the Ketchup & Dijon mustard on top of the Ribs instead of mixing it into the BBQ sauce.Close lid and Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 16 - 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and Full Natural Release. Open the lid carefully.*Pro Tip: Adjust your cooking time according to your preference: 16 minutes (tender with a bit of chew) to 25 minutes (fall off the bone).

  • Reduce BBQ sauce: Place roughly chopped carrots into the BBQ sauce and bring your BBQ sauce to a simmer (Instant Pot: Press Sauté button once, then Adjust button to Saute Less Function).Continue to reduce and thicken the BBQ sauce by simmering until desired thickness (~6 - 8 mins). Occasionally, stir with a wooden spoon. Taste the seasoning of the BBQ sauce. Stir in more brown sugar and additional 1 - 2 drops of liquid smoke if necessary.
  • Apply Sauce and Finish in Oven or Grill: Brush the homemade BBQ sauce all over the baby back ribs on all sides including the bones with a silicone basting brush. Place the baby back ribs in the oven on the top rack for 10 - 15 minutes.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons cumin
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons mustard powder
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 lb baby back ribs, membrane removed
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 cup water
3 tablespoons dijon mustard
½ teaspoon cayenne
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons honey
1 ½ tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
3 cloves garlic, grated
¼ cup ketchup, plus 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon molasses
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Make the dry rub: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, ginger, mustard powder, salt, chili powder, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Mix well with a fork.
  • Place the ribs on a cutting board and generously coat on all sides with the dry rub, pressing it into the meat.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar and water to the basin of the Instant Pot.
  • Place the rack insert in the bottom and set the ribs on the rack on their side, spiraling around the inside of the pot. Close the lid to the Instant Pot, making sure the vent is set to sealing. Select manual pressure and set the pressure to high. Set the timer for 28 minutes. Allow natural release for 5 minutes, then set to venting to release the remaining pressure.
  • While the ribs are cooking, make the barbecue sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the mustard, cayenne, salt, pepper, honey, ginger, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar and mix well.
  • When the ribs have about 10 minutes of cooking time left, arrange an oven rack in the upper third of the oven and turn the broiler on high. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Transfer the ribs to the prepared baking sheet. Brush liberally with the barbecue sauce.
  • Broil the ribs for 2-4 minutes, until the sauce begins to caramelize.
  • Remove the ribs from the oven and brush with another coat of sauce.
  • Slice into individual ribs and serve immediately with the remaining barbecue sauce alongside.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choosing the right ribs is essential for tender and flavorful results. Look for baby back ribs that are meaty and well-marbled.
  • Season the ribs generously with a rub of your choice. This will help to enhance the flavor of the ribs and create a delicious crust.
  • Use a flavorful liquid in the pressure cooker, such as chicken broth, apple juice, or beer. This will help to create a rich and flavorful sauce.
  • Cook the ribs for the recommended time according to your recipe. Overcooking will make the ribs tough, so be careful not to exceed the recommended cooking time.
  • Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the ribs even more tender.
