Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 rack baby back ribs or spare ribs (about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds*)
1 cup water
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/4 cup Homemade Barbecue Sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

Rinse the ribs and pat them dry. If your ribs still have the thin, shiny membrane on the back, remove it. (This is easy, don't worry!) Flip the ribs over, meat-side down. Wiggle a dull knife (such as a butter knife) between the membrane and the ribs to loosen it. With a paper towel, grip the membrane and pull it away, then discard.
In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne. Rub it all over the ribs, generously coating all of the sides.
Place the trivet (or rack) in the bottom of a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot. Pour in the water, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke. Place the ribs inside the pot, standing them on the trivet on their side and wrapping the rack around the inside of the pot like a circle.
Cover and seal the Instant Pot. For baby back ribs: Cook on high (manual) pressure for 23 minutes (if you are making multiple racks and your ribs are super meaty, increase to 25 minutes). Allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then vent to release the remaining pressure. For spare ribs: Cook on high for 35 minutes. Allow the pressure to naturally release completely (about 15 minutes). You will know it is released when the pin drops.
Towards the end of the ribs' cook time, place a rack in the upper third of your oven and set it to broil. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Transfer the cooked ribs to the foil, then brush liberally with barbecue sauce. Place under the broiler just until the sauce begins to caramelized, about 2 minutes. Do not walk away to make sure the ribs don't burn.

Copycat Chili's Instant Pot Baby Back Ribs Recipe by Tasty image

Juicy, tender ribs in less than 30 minutes? It sounds impossible, but with the help of a pressure cooker, you'll have perfect, fall-of-the-bone ribs in no time. We replicated the flavors of Chili's famous ribs by incorporating liquid smoke in the cooking process. We also created a cheater's BBQ sauce by upgrading good-quality store-bought BBQ sauce with chipotle in adobo, orange juice, and chili powder.

Time 40m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 tablespoons coarse salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon white pepper
1 rack baby back ribs, silverskin removed, cut in half crosswise
1 cup water
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon liquid smoke, optional
½ cup store-bought brown sugar barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon orange juice

Steps:

Make the ribs: In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, chili powder, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, and white pepper. Whisk to combine.
Season both sides of the baby back ribs with some of the dry rub, reserving the rest for another use.
Add the water, liquid smoke, and apple cider vinegar to the basin of an Instant Pot. Place the rack insert in the bottom and set the ribs on the rack on their sides, spiraling around the inside of the pot.
Close the lid of the Instant Pot, making sure the vent is set to sealing. Select manual pressure and set the pressure to high. Set the timer for 25 minutes. When the timer goes off, turn the machine to venting to release the pressure.
Meanwhile, make the barbecue sauce: In a medium bowl, stir together the barbecue sauce, chipotle in adobo, chili powder and orange juice. Set aside.
When the ribs have about 10 minutes of cook time left, arrange an oven rack in the upper third of the oven and turn the broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil.
Transfer the ribs to the prepared baking sheet. Brush liberally with the barbecue sauce.
Broil the ribs for 2-4 minutes, until the sauce begins to caramelize.
Enjoy!
