Instant Pot EASY Barbeque Ribs

August 23, 2018 by Kristin Leave a Comment

The easiest and quickest BBQ ribs made right in your Instant Pot! Tender, flavorful, and delicious….these will be a hit with everyone!

For years, my husband has been making ribs on the smoker. He has them perfected and each time they are ready to enjoy, our plates are all but licked clean, kids included!

 The other day, I was browsing through Pinterest as well as the Instant Pot Facebook group I am a part of, and noticed everyone raving about Instant Pot ribs. I mentioned it to my hubby one evening and he immediately went into the reasons why he thought it wouldn’t be good. The smoke flavor wouldn’t be there, the flavor would be wrong, how would it fit, etc.

I set out to prove him wrong (isn’t this a wife’s job, haha) and decided to buy a rack at the store, season it up, prepare our favorite sides, and see what the verdict was.

Now, I must admit, smoked ribs and Instant Pot ribs are not in the same category. There IS a difference, however, after everyone tried a few bites of MY version, the verdict was they were very tasty, tender, and packed with flavor. My hubby even said he could see us alternating cook methods if we were short on time, the weather was bad and he didn’t want to go outside to use the smoker, etc.

These ribs were fall off the bone tender, the BBQ sauce and rub used really enhanced the flavor, and the best part was how quick these were to cook.

All in all, these were a success! They certainly don’t replace the smoked version, but these are a great option for those that don’t have smokers or don’t have the time to cook for hours!

I served ours with roasted green beans and smashed potatoes!!

Enjoy!!
