Instant Pot Ribs are sweet, spicy and fall apart tender - in a fraction of the usual time! Just 25 minutes at high pressure, and a zap in a hot oven for 10 minutes, and dinner is SERVED!
Combine all the sauce ingredients into a saucepan and simmer over a medium heat until thickened, stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes. Be careful not to burn - don't leave it unattended.
Ribs
Take a dull knife, slide the tip under the membrane on the back of each rack, and loosen it. Take the corner of it and pry off the entire membrane from the back of the ribs.
Mix the rub ingredients together until well blended.
Rub evenly over both sides of the ribs, and massage into the meat.
Cut your ribs to fit your instant pot (I cut a normal sized rack into three pieces)
Place the trivet in the instant pot, pour in a cup of water or stock.
Set the instant pot at high pressure, for 25 minutes.
Close the lid, and the vent to seal.
Heat oven to 450F
When instant pot is done, do a natural release for 10 minutes, then do a quick release.
Remove the ribs from the instant pot and put them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper or tinfoil.
Baste ribs liberally with sauce, and bake for 10-15 minutes.
