Tender fall-off-the-bone Barbecue Pork Ribs

If these barbecued pork ribs don’t have your stomach growling and your mouth salivating then I’m here to tell you I just ain’t doing my job! 😀

Remember last week when I shared my recipe for Chef’s Blend Spice Mix? Well here is the first meal you’re going to use it on and it’s super easy and just in time for barbecue season. Let me take you thru the step-by-step directions to make bbq’d ribs in a pressure cooker.

How to make bbq pork ribs

• Start by removing the silver skin on the back of the ribs it might take you a bit, but grasp under the skin and slowly peel it away. Taking the time to remove the skin will make the ribs much more tender. Be patient and remove as much as possible. Not only will it make it more tender, the rub and sauce will be able to penetrate the meat making it more flavorful.

Start by removing the tough silver skin.

Next season both sides of the meat with a flavorful dry rub.

Be sure to season the ribs well with a good dry rub.

Flip the ribs over and season both sides rubbing the dry rub into the meat.

Press the dry rub into the meat.

How do you cook these in the Instant Pot? Easy, just roll up the slab of ribs – jellyroll fashion! Wrap it well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes – longer is even better.

Roll up the ribs jellyroll fashion and place it in the Instant Pot.

Here’s a great tip – be sure to place plastic or parchment paper under the ribs before seasoning. Sprinkling the seasoning can cause quite a mess and this will make cleanup a snap!

Add one cup of juice to the bottom of the Instant Pot. Place the rolled up ribs on the into the IP and top it with a half cup of your favorite BBQ Sauce. Secure the lid of the Instant Pot, close the valve and set in on manual for 25 minutes.

Place the ribs in the Instant Pot and top with sauce.

When the timer goes off, preheat the broiler or grill.

Remove the ribs from the Instant Pot. Slather them with your favorite barbecue sauce and place them on a hot grill. BBQ for five minutes on each side or until the sauce is seared and delicious!

Grill until the sauce on the ribs is caramelized!
