Instant Pot Ribs Recipes

Steps:

• Mix brown sugar, chili powder, parsley, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, cumin, onion powder, and paprika in a bowl using a fork, breaking up any large clumps. Rub spice mixture over both sides of the ribs.
• Place a steam rack inside a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Pour water and cider vinegar into the bottom of the pot. Lower ribs into the pot by curving them around the edge. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; place ribs on the foil. Top with barbeque sauce.
• Broil ribs until sauce is bubbling, about 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine juice, vinegar, and liquid smoke in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add bay leaves.
• Add a trivet to the pot and place ribs on top, trimming as needed to fit. Close and lock the lid; set valve to sealing. Choose high pressure and set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

Steps:

• Whisk together the soy sauce, gochujang, ginger, brown sugar, pear, garlic, 2 tablespoons sesame oil and 1/4 cup water in a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Place the short ribs on top and follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 25 minutes (see Cook's Note). After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to a large bowl, then cover and set aside.
• Set the pot to saute on high for 30 minutes and let reduce until the liquid is thick and glazy, about 15 minutes (about 1/2 cup of sauce will remain). Set the pot to off and transfer the reduced sauce to the meat, then toss to coat.
• Meanwhile, toss the scallions, cucumber, rice vinegar, gochugaru, sesame seeds, granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining tablespoon sesame oil in a medium bowl and cover and chill until ready to serve.
• For charred short ribs (optional): Position an oven rack as high as it can go in the oven and preheat the broiler to high. Transfer the glazed ribs to a rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and broil until lightly charred on both sides, about 1 minute per side.
• Serve the ribs over steamed rice topped with the pickled cucumbers, additional scallions and sesame seeds.

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.

Steps:

• Lightly crush peppercorns, cumin seeds, and red pepper flakes in a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Season ribs on both sides with all of dry rub, patting it on if needed.
• Pour wine into Instant Pot. Arrange ribs in pot, orienting them so they're standing up on their bones and leaning against walls of pot and each other (rather than stacking them flat, one on top of the other), which ensures even cooking. Lock on lid, making sure steam release valve is in the proper sealed position. Select Manual and program for 9 minutes at high pressure. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release pressure. Unlock lid and transfer ribs to a rimmed baking sheet. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, program cooker to Saute for 10 minutes to reduce juices remaining in cooker insert. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof measuring cup or jar (you should have about 3/4 cup juices). Let cool; cover and chill.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Clean and oil grate. Spoon congealed fat off cooking liquid, then transfer remaining liquid to small pot. Add vinegar and garlic and bring mixture to a boil. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, until liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a glass measuring cup.
• Rub a little bit of oil on ribs to lightly coat. Grill ribs (meaty side down) until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Turn ribs, brush sauce onto exposed side, and grill until underside is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Turn ribs again and brush with sauce. Continue to grill, turning occasionally and brushing with sauce, until ribs are lightly charred on both sides, about 6 minutes total.
• Transfer ribs to a cutting board. Let cool 5-10 minutes before cutting into individual ribs. Drizzle remaining sauce over, then sprinkle with herbs.
• Do Ahead: Ribs can be pressure-cooked 3 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill.

Steps:

• Take your dry rub and massage it into the ribs on all sides.
• Add beef broth to the bottom of your instant pot.
• Place ribs in the instant pot.
• Distribute the BBQ sauce over the top of the meat.
• Lock the lid on the Instant Pot with the vent closed. Cook on high pressure for 40 minutes, then natural release fo 15-20 minutes.
• Remove ribs and place on a cookie sheet (use foil for easy cleanup). Cover meat with some more BBQ sauce and broil for 3 minutes.
• Serve!

Steps:

• Make the dry rub: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, ginger, mustard powder, salt, chili powder, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Mix well with a fork.
• Place the ribs on a cutting board and generously coat on all sides with the dry rub, pressing it into the meat.
• Add the apple cider vinegar and water to the basin of the Instant Pot.
• Place the rack insert in the bottom and set the ribs on the rack on their side, spiraling around the inside of the pot. Close the lid to the Instant Pot, making sure the vent is set to sealing. Select manual pressure and set the pressure to high. Set the timer for 28 minutes. Allow natural release for 5 minutes, then set to venting to release the remaining pressure.
• While the ribs are cooking, make the barbecue sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the mustard, cayenne, salt, pepper, honey, ginger, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar and mix well.
• When the ribs have about 10 minutes of cooking time left, arrange an oven rack in the upper third of the oven and turn the broiler on high. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Transfer the ribs to the prepared baking sheet. Brush liberally with the barbecue sauce.
• Broil the ribs for 2-4 minutes, until the sauce begins to caramelize.
• Remove the ribs from the oven and brush with another coat of sauce.
• Slice into individual ribs and serve immediately with the remaining barbecue sauce alongside.
• Enjoy!
