30-Minute Instant Pot Ribs (Extra Juicy)
Description
The ribs are coated with a dry rub made from garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper, seasoning the meat with a flavorful crust. Apple juice added to the Instant Pot creates steam and moisture essential for pressure cooking, which tenderizes the ribs in a fraction of the usual time. After natural pressure release, the ribs are brushed generously with barbecue sauce and broiled for about 5 minutes, caramelizing the sugars and forming a glossy, flavorful crust.
This cooking method results in ribs that pull easily from the bone and maintain juiciness, with smoky, sweet, and spicy notes from the rub and sauce. Serving these ribs immediately after broiling preserves their tender, moist qualities and lively flavor.

- Rub all the sides of the ribs with the dry seasoning.
- Curl the ribs and tuck them inside the Instant Pot.
