Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 pounds baby back pork ribs
  • 1/4 cup (1.875 ounces) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 Tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

Instruction

  • Remove the membrane from underside of ribs by running a boning knife under the membrane, and gripping the membrane with a paper towel to remove it completely. Set aside.
  • Combine brown sugar, chili powder, thyme, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder, in a jar with a lid. Screw on the lid, and shake the contents to completely combine the dry rub.
  • Rub the dry rub over all sides of the ribs.
  • Place the rack in the bottom of the Instant Pot; pour in the vinegar and water.
  • Wrap ribs around the Instant pot, standing them on their side.
  • Secure the lid; ensure that the vent is closed. Select "Meat/Stew" and set the time to 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Then quick release the remaining pressure.
  • Carefully remove the ribs from the Instant Pot and divide into individual portions.
  • Grill over hot coals, for about 10 minutes, turning and basting frequently with your favorite barbecue sauce.
  • Yield: 4 servings.
