Ingredients
- 3 lb baby back ribs or pork loin ribs*
- 6 cups apple juice
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar or apple cider
- ½ tsp liquid smoke optional
- 1 tbsp seasoning salt (Johnny's or Lawry's)
- 2 Tbsp BBQ dry rub
- 2/3 cup BBQ sauce Use a sweet BBQ sauce, or homemade, divided
Instructions
- Pat dry the rack of ribs with a paper towel and rub on your dry ingredients on both sides.
- In the Instant Pot, combine apple juice, vinegar, liquid smoke and 1/3 cup of bbq sauce.
- Coil the rack of ribs inside the with the bone-side facing the center. Ribs should all be partially submerged. Cook on high pressure for 25 min followed by a 10 min natural pressure release before manually releasing remaining pressure.
- Using two sets of tongs, carefully transfer ribs to a rimmed baking sheet lined with a wire rack with the meat side up. Brush the top and sides with the remaining 1/3 cup BBQ sauce. Broil in the center of the oven on high for 4-5 min*. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 min before serving. Serve with more BBQ sauce if desired.
Notes
- *For larger-sized spare ribs, add 5-10 minutes of cooking time.
- *To Finish and Caramelize the Ribs:
- *Storage - once ribs are cool, keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, or freeze up to 3 months.
- *To reheat ribs: thaw in the fridge overnight. Brush with more BBQ sauce and then wrap in foil and heat in the oven on 250°F until heated through.
- On the Grill: Preheat the grill to 350-400˚F. Place ribs directly on preheated grill, cover, and grill 5 min.
- In the Air Fryer: Cut rack in half and place both halves side by side in the air fryer basket for 4 min on high.
- In the Oven: Place pan under the broiler for 3-5 minutes or until the BBQ sauce just begins to bubble. Be sure to watch closely since the sugar in the sauce can burn quickly under the broiler.
