Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder

  • 1 tablespoon paprika

  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder

  • 1 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 rack baby back pork ribs

  • 1 cup beef broth

  • ¼ cup barbeque sauce, or as needed


Directions

  1. Combine kosher salt, brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a small bowl.

  2. Cut rack of ribs into 4 equal portions. Rub all sides of each piece with spice mixture.

  3. Pour broth into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Add ribs in a teepee formation. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  4. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  5. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Transfer ribs to the prepared baking sheet. Brush ribs on all sides with barbeque sauce.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Turn ribs and continue baking until meat pulls away easily from the bone, about 7 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
