Description

Tender, juicy, and fall-apart delicious — these country style ribs are pressure-cooked to perfection in a smoky, flavorful rub and finished with your favorite BBQ sauce. It’s a set-it-and-savor dish that turns basic cuts into BBQ bliss, all in under an hour.


Ingredients

Scale

Dry Rub

2 tbsp smoked paprika

2 tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp onion powder

1 tsp kosher salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

2 tsp dried oregano

For the Ribs

34 lbs country style pork ribs

1 cup water or beef broth

4 garlic cloves, smashed

1/2 tsp liquid smoke (optional, for depth)

1 cup BBQ sauce (homemade or store-bought)


Instructions

Make the rub: Mix all dry rub ingredients in a small bowl.

Season the ribs: Pat ribs dry and coat thoroughly with the dry rub. Let sit 10–15 minutes to marinate if time allows.

Pressure cook: Add water or broth, smashed garlic, and liquid smoke to the Instant Pot. Place ribs in (stacked if needed). Seal and cook on High Pressure for 35 minutes.

Natural release: Let pressure release naturally for 10–15 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.

Finish with BBQ: Remove ribs and brush generously with BBQ sauce. For a sticky finish, broil them for 3–5 minutes until caramelized and bubbly.

Serve hot: Pair with slaw, cornbread, or your favorite comfort sides.
