Ingredients
- 3 pounds baby back pork ribs
- ¼ 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
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
- 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.
