Best Instant Pot Pork Ribs with Homemade Instant Pot BBQ Sauce

Ribs in the Instant Pot are fantastic. I mean, like fall-off-the-bone crazy good. My husband asks for them. My kids ask for them. Everybody loves Instant Pot Pork Ribs in this house. And they go great with this Homemade Instant Pot BBQ Sauce too! You can make it earlier in the day, and if you have two Instant Pots, you can also make this Instant Pot Corn on the Cob for supper. It’s a perfect summer meal!

Prepare the ribs by seasoning both sides of the meat with salt and pepper. This is a personal preference as to how much, but at least 1 teaspoon of each. Slather ribs with BBQ sauce and place on the trivet in the Instant Pot. You will need to wrap them around in a circle to fit.

Add remainder of the 2 cups of BBQ sauce to the pot. This is your cooking liquid, and you can also use it to slather the ribs again at the end of the cook time.

• Salt and pepper to season
• 2 cups of Homemade Instant Pot BBQ Sauce for cooking, additional to serve

Instructions

1. Prepare ribs by seasoning both sides of the meat with salt and pepper. This is a personal preference as to how much, but at least 1 teaspoon of each.
2. Slather ribs with BBQ sauce and place on the trivet in the Instant Pot.
3. You will need to wrap them around in a circle to fit.
4. Add remainder of the 2 cups of BBQ sauce to the pot. This is your cooking liquid, and you can also use it to slather the ribs again at the end of the cook time.
5. Close the lid on the pressure cooker and turn the valve to sealing.
6. Set a manual high-pressure time for 40 minutes.
7. Allow for a natural release for 10 minutes before doing a quick release to let out the remaining pressure. The 10-minute natural release time helps allow for super tender ribs.
8. At the end of the cooking time, you can take the ribs out and slather them with more sauce and serve, or you can toss them on the grill for a minute on each side to finish them off, and then load them up with sauce.
