Tips For The Most Delicious Ribs!

1. I used pork ribs, but you can also make this recipe with beef ribs. It is perfectly okay to use the same spices, just ask your butcher to cut the beef ribs into small segments.
2. If you want to add some extra flavor, make sure to add some liquid smoke to the sauce. A few drops will be enough. If you cannot find the liquid smoke then smoked paprika will do the trick.

Tools I used

How to Make Instant Pot Country Style Ribs

First, gather all of your ingredients in one place.

Next, if you’re making a dry rub for this recipe, combine the dry rub ingredients in a bowl.

Next, rub the pork ribs with the prepared mixture.

Once you’ve rubbed the seasoning into the meat, place the ribs into your Instant Pot. (Need one? I recommend this budget-friendly Instant Pot — it’s perfect for quick and easy meals like this!)

Then, you will combine the ingredients for the sauce into a separate bowl and mix well. 

Once the sauce is ready, pour that sauce over the ribs.

Lastly, lock the lid into place and elect Manual and adjust to High Pressure. Set the timer to 35 minutes.

Once the cooking cycle is completed perform a quick pressure release and serve the ribs warm.
