Fall Off the Bone Ribs
These ribs are cooked to perfection in a savory sauce that enhances their natural flavor. With the Instant Pot, you can achieve that tender texture without spending hours by the grill or in the oven. Here’s how to make it happen!

Ingredients
- 2 racks of baby back ribs
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 cup of barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
- 1/2 cup of beef broth
- 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Start by removing the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor absorption. This step can make a big difference!
- Season both sides of the ribs generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
- Set your Instant Pot to the sauté setting, and add olive oil. Once heated, sear the ribs for about 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
- Remove the ribs from the pot and set them aside. Pour in the beef broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze, ensuring no bits are stuck.
- Return the ribs to the pot. Pour the barbecue sauce over the ribs, coating them evenly.
- Close the lid, seal the vent, and set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 25 minutes. Once finished, allow for a natural release for 5 minutes, then a quick release of any remaining steam.
- Carefully remove the ribs and brush them with additional barbecue sauce if desired. Optional: Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes for a charred finish.
- Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy the tender, fall-off-the-bone deliciousness!
