Buffalo Baby Back Ribs In The Instant Pot Recipes

INSTANT POT® BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Combine kosher salt, brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a small bowl for the spice rub.
• Cut the rack of ribs into 4 equal portions. Rub all sides of each piece with spice rub.
• Pour broth into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add ribs in a teepee formation. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid. Move ribs to the baking sheet using tongs. Brush ribs on all sides with barbeque sauce.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Turn ribs and continue baking until meat pulls away easily from the bone, about 7 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

INSTANT POT RIBS

Steps:

• Rinse the ribs and pat them dry. If your ribs still have the thin, shiny membrane on the back, remove it. (This is easy, don't worry!) Flip the ribs over, meat-side down. Wiggle a dull knife (such as a butter knife) between the membrane and the ribs to loosen it. With a paper towel, grip the membrane and pull it away, then discard.
• In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne. Rub it all over the ribs, generously coating all of the sides.
• Place the trivet (or rack) in the bottom of a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot. Pour in the water, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke. Place the ribs inside the pot, standing them on the trivet on their side and wrapping the rack around the inside of the pot like a circle.
• Cover and seal the Instant Pot. For baby back ribs: Cook on high (manual) pressure for 23 minutes (if you are making multiple racks and your ribs are super meaty, increase to 25 minutes). Allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then vent to release the remaining pressure. For spare ribs: Cook on high for 35 minutes. Allow the pressure to naturally release completely (about 15 minutes). You will know it is released when the pin drops.
• Towards the end of the ribs' cook time, place a rack in the upper third of your oven and set it to broil. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Transfer the cooked ribs to the foil, then brush liberally with barbecue sauce. Place under the broiler just until the sauce begins to caramelized, about 2 minutes. Do not walk away to make sure the ribs don't burn.

Steps:

• Generously season the ribs with salt and pepper.
• Pour the apple cider vinegar and 1 ½ cups of water in the base of the Instant Pot.
• Insert the rack and place ribs on top. Seal lid on top and cook on high pressure for 20 minutes. Allow the Instant Pot to vent for about 10 minutes before removing the ribs from the pot.
• Meanwhile, preheat an oven to 425 degrees. Carefully, place the ribs on an aluminum foil lined sheet tray and brush both sides of the ribs with bbq sauce. Bake in the oven for 7-10 minutes until the sauce is sticky.
• Slice ribs into sections and serve with additional bbq sauce.
