Description
Achieve tender, fall-off-the-bone beef ribs without the hassle of a grill. This Instant Pot method uses pressurized steam to lock in moisture, deep spice penetration, and flavor, resulting in a savory, smoky main dish perfect for family dinners. By skipping the smoker and using high-quality spice rubs and BBQ sauce, you can create a succulent, professional-quality meal in under an hour.
Ingredients
3 lbs Beef Back Ribs
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
2 tbsp Smoked Paprika
1 tbsp Garlic Powder
1 tbsp Onion Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1.5 cups BBQ Sauce (non-alcoholic)
1 cup Beef Broth
Instructions
Remove the silver skin membrane from the bone side of the ribs.
In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Rub the spice mixture thoroughly over all sides of the beef ribs.
Pour beef broth into the Instant Pot insert.
Place the trivet inside and arrange the seasoned ribs in a circular pattern or stack them carefully.
Secure the lid and seal the pressure valve.
Cook on High Pressure for 45 minutes.
Allow a natural pressure release for 10 minutes.
Carefully remove ribs, brush generously with BBQ sauce, and place under an oven broiler for 5 minutes until caramelized.
Notes
Ensure you strictly follow the natural pressure release to keep the meat tender. Use coconut sugar for a lower glycemic alternative. If you prefer even meatier results, swap the back ribs for short ribs.
