Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 3 pounds (1.4 kg) country style ribs
  • 1 tablespoon (7 g) paprika
  • 1 tablespoon (12 g) brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons (12 g) salt
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) chili powder mild
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1.5 g) garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) onion powder
  • 1/2 cup (118 ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup (118 ml) cold water
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup (118 ml) BBQ sauce

Instructions
 

  • Mix together all seasonings in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the ribs and pat it so it sticks to the meat.
  • Pour the apple cider vinegar, water, and Worcestershire sauce into the Instant Pot. Set the ribs inside. Pour 1/4 cup of the BBQ sauce directly over the ribs.
  • Close and lock the lid. Set to cook for 25 minutes on high pressure, then allow a natural release of pressure.
  • Open the lid and remove the ribs from the pot. Glaze with remaining BBQ sauce. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Try to find country-style ribs that have good marbling to the meat and not ones with a huge chunk of fat all in one spot. The marbling will help them become super juicy and not dried out.
  • If you want to add more flavor, put the ribs on the grill after cooking in the Instant Pot and glaze a few times with your favorite BBQ sauce.
  • These are great to make ahead. If you're having a party, you can make a huge batch of ribs in the Instant Pot and have them ready to go on the grill. They will take WAY less time this way.
