How to Make Instant Pot Ribs Step by Step
Make the Spice Rub: Combine 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of ground turmeric, 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, 2 teaspoons of ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon of ground paprika, ½ teaspoon of chipotle powder, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder in a small bowl and set aside. Prep the Ribs: Pat 3½ pounds of baby back pork ribs with a paper towel. Next, remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Generously season ribs with rub on both sides. Fill the Instant Pot: Place ½ cup of chopped onion, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 3 tablespoons of liquid smoke, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth, and 2 bay leaves into the bottom of the instant pot and stir just to combine. Place a steam basket or rack in the instant pot on top of the chicken broth mixture. Gently coil the ribs and place them on top of the rack. Put the lid on and seal. Cook the Ribs: Press the Manual button, set it for 26 minutes, and let cook. Once the ribs are cooked, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes before manually releasing. Broil the Ribs: Prep a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lay ribs flat on top of it. Generously coat the top and sides with your favorite BBQ sauce and place in the oven to broil for 5 minutes. Watch carefully as broiling for too long will burn them. Once they are out of the oven, cut between the ribs and serve with your favorite sides or eat by themselves and enjoy!
