Ingredients
- 1 rack baby back ribs about 1 1/2- 2lbs
- 1 cup broth or water
- 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke optional
- 4 cloves garlic sliced
- 1 onion sliced
- 6 tablespoons dry rub
- barbecue sauce optional
DRY RUB
- 2 tablespoon paprika
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons lemon pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons oregano
Instructions
-
Rinse ribs and pat dry. Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs.
-
Cut slab into 2-3 pieces (enough so they fit into the Instant Pot) and coat with dry rub massaging it into the meat.
-
Place trivet (or rack) in the bottom of your Instant Pot. Add broth or water and liquid smoke if using.
-
Set ribs upright on the trivet (so they are not stacked on top of one another). Sprinkle with onion and garlic.
-
Close lid and select manual pressure and set the timer for 23 minutes (25 minutes if they’re extra meaty). Once done, allow the instant pot to natural release for 5 minutes.
-
Open valve to release remaining pressure.
-
Brush with barbecue sauce (or olive oil/salt/pepper for dry ribs) and broil or grill until slightly charred.
