These Instant Pot Beef Ribs are cooked to tender in the Instant Pot in just 25 minutes, then slathered in BBQ sauce for a tasty and satisfying meal.
These ribs are juicy, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone tender, thanks to the magic of pressure cooking. And the best part? This recipe is incredibly easy to make, even if you’re not an experienced cook. The preparation time is minimal, and once you’ve added the ribs to the Instant Pot, you can simply set it and forget it.
Cooking ribs in an Instant Pot is a great way to save time and energy. Traditional methods of cooking ribs, such as grilling or baking in the oven, can take hours. With the Instant Pot, you can have delicious, fall-off-the-bone ribs in a fraction of the time, without sacrificing any flavor or tenderness.
Helpful Tips
- To save time, you can prepare the rub and let the ribs with the rub on overnight in the refrigerator.
- After removing the ribs from the Instant Pot, brush them with your favorite BBQ sauce and broil them in the oven for a few minutes to create a crispy, caramelized crust. Yum!
- Don’t overcrowd the Instant Pot when cooking the ribs to ensure they cook evenly and the pressure can build properly. Don’t stack them higher than the Max fill line.
- Don’t be afraid to experiment with different spices and flavors to create your own unique marinade recipe.
