I am always looking for easy recipes that I can cook on the boat. It is a plus if the cooking method doesn’t heat up the cabin and only uses a few dishes. When I snagged some Brazilian baby back ribs from the grocery store for a decent price, I decided to try the instant pot to cook them. We were all pleased with the results. Thus, I am sharing the recipe for your enjoyment!
Instant Pot Baby Back Ribs
Ingredients
- 3 lbs baby back pork ribs
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder,
- 1 tsp onion powder,
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Remove the membrane from the bottom side of the ribs by running a butter knife under the skin and using a paper towel to pull it completely off.
- Combine brown sugar, chili powder, parsley, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and cayenne pepper in a small dish. Rub all over the front and back of the ribs.
- Place the trivet in your pressure cooker and pour in water, apple cider and Worcestershire sauce.
- Position the ribs on the trivet, standing them on their side and circling around the inside of the pot. Slabs can circle inside each other.
- Secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed. Set time for 25 minutes. When finished cooking, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes; then quick release the rest of the way.
- Optional finish (but not necessary): Gently remove the ribs from the pressure cooker and set on a foil lined baking sheet. Brush with BBQ sauce. Broil for about 3-5 minutes 6 inches from top of oven. Keep watch so they do not burn. Enjoy!
