Instant Pot BBQ Ribs

Finally jumping onto the Instant Pot craze.  I have always been horrible with the crock pot.  So I have been a little hesitant with the Instant Pot.  But so far all the recipes that I have tried have come out well.  

I think one of the best parts of the Instant Pot is that it does not get the house super hot.  

I have never cooked ribs before.  So this is a major first.  

These ribs came out super yummy and kid approved.  They were super tender and fall off the bone.

• 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 lbs baby back pork ribs, trimmed of excess fat, pat dry
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, salt, onion powder, chili powder, mustard, paprika, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, black pepper, cumin and cayenne pepper.  
2. Remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs.  Try to pull it down the entire length.  Season ribs with brown sugar mixture, rubbing it thoroughly on both sides.
3. Please metal trivet into the instant pot.  Add chicken stock and apple cider vinegar to a 6 quart Instant Pot.  Please ribs upright on top of the trivet, wrapping in a circle.  
4. Select manual setting, pressure to high, and set time for 25 minutes.  When finished cooking, quick release pressure according to manufacturer's directions.  
5. Preheat oven to broil.  Line a baking sheet with foil.
6. Please ribs in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet.  Brush generous with your favorite BBQ sauce.  
7. Place into oven and broil until BBQ sauce is caramelized and browned, about 4-6 minutes.  
8. Serve with extra BBQ sauce.

I am totally making this recipe again.  I am really loving my Instant Pot.  

Keep cooking Friends!

Korean Pork Ribs

Easy recipes are my favorite.  Oh this recipe is easy.  It requires a little prep work but the end result is much worth it.  I bought ribs and instantly marinaded them when I got home from the store.   You see, this recipe requires 8-24 hours of marinating.  Hence the yummy end flavor. 

When it comes to dinner and never know what to make.  My worst nightmare is when the husband texts "what's for dinner?"  Bah!  I am also indecisive.  So if I don't marinate meat or set a meal plan for the week I have known to let meat go bad in my refrigerator.  I know I know.  Bad!  I must work on this.
