Instant Pot BBQ Ribs

by

This week’s recipe comes straight out of mastermind Chef K’s noggin. If he is taking over my job, then looks like I’m the blogger today. Blog hijacked by Chef T!

In case you couldn’t tell from our tamale recipe, we really like using our Instant Pot. It makes meat just fall straight off the bone. Just throw your knives away! You don’t need them when you cook your meat in the Instant Pot.

To add a little more texture to your ribs, throw them in a hot pan after you take them out of the pot to add a nice caramelized crust. Now they are ready to serve, maybe with some creamy polenta…

Keep your spices on your ribs, not the floor,

Your favorite alternative chefs, K & T

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes
Servings 4 people

Ingredients

Pork and Spice Mix

  • 3 - 4 lbs of pork ribs
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 2 tsp dry mustard
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp white pepper

Instant Pot

  • Half white onion chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic crushed
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup your favorite BBQ sauce
  • ¼ cup your favorite sweet chili sauce
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar

Sauce

  • ¾ cup your favorite BBQ sauce
  • ¼ cup your favorite sweet chili sauce
  • ¼ cup of honey

Instructions

  1. Rub the ribs really nice with the spice mix.
  2. Place the ribs into the instant pot with all instant pot ingredients spread around evenly.
  3. Close up the instant pot nice and tight, make sure that steam valve is closed! Select the Meat/Stew option and set the timer for 20 minutes.
  4. While waiting for the ribs to be done, mix together all the ingredients for the sauce.
  5. When the instant pot is complete, wait 10 minutes for the natural release. After natural release, open instant pot valve carefully to release remaining pressure.
  6. Place a large pan on the stove, turn it to medium-high heat, and coat with olive oil.
  7. Once the pan makes water sizzle, transfer ribs into the pan, and immediately turn the heat down to low. Coat the pork with half the sauce.
  8. After 5 minutes in the pan, flip the pork and coat the other side with the rest of the sauce. Cook for another 5 minutes, then remove from the pan.
  9. Enjoy!
