Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 rack Ribs
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 4 tbsp BBQ rub of your choice
- BBQ Sauce to taste Depends on how saucy you want them to be.
Instructions
- Remove the “silver skin”. This runs on the bottom of the ribs and is a clear piece of skin that typically comes off easily. Removing allows the ribs to become more tender more quickly.
- Rub ribs with BBQ rub. Be sure to rub into both sides of the ribs.
- Rub the brown sugar over the rub. Be sure to rub both sides and really get it to stick.
- Pour the water in the Instant Pot.
- Add the ribs. Just fold in a circular pattern. It does not matter which side is towards the middle. The pressure cooking function will cook them evenly.
- Turn on the Instant Pot and set Pressure to High and time to 35 minutes if you like fall of the bone. 25 minutes if you prefer ribs to chewy.
- When done cooking let pressure natural release for 10 minutes.
- Preheat Ninja Grill to 500°. If you do not have a Ninja Grill heat your your oven to Broil.
- Remove ribs cut into about 4-6 bone pieces and cover in BBQ sauce. If finishing in the oven, just place uncut ribs on a cookie sheet and cover in BBQ sauce.
- On Ninja Grill cook the ribs about 4-5 minutes per side to carmelize the BBQ sauce. If using Broil in the oven then broil 4-6 minutes a side.
- Remove from Grill or oven and enjoy!
Notes
I have been able to fit up to two small racks of ribs in a 6 QT pot.
