Instructions
- Add the ½ cup chicken broth and 2 lbs country style pork ribs to the inner pot of your Instant Pot or pressure cooker. Pour the ¼ cup apple cider vinegar over ribs, then season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper.
- Seal and cook on manual high setting for 15 minutes, then NPR (natural pressure release) for 10 minutes. Finish venting the knob and remove the country style pork ribs to a baking sheet.
- Preheat your oven to the high broil setting.
- In a small mixing bowl combine the 1 cup BBQ sauce, 1 tablespoon liquid smoke, and optional 2 tablespoon light brown sugar. Use a basting brush to coat the country-style pork ribs generously.
- Broil the bbq ribs until the sauce is caramelized to your liking. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Notes
- Your pressure cooker takes between 10-15 minutes to fully heat before the cooking cycle begins. Be sure to add this in to your planning so everything finishes at the right time (and together).
- Chicken broth usually works best with pork (except in Asian cooking), however, either chicken or beef broth or stock will work wonderfully.
- Broiling is an optional step that yields a nicely 'charred' bbq pork ribs dinner. Your pork ribs are fully cooked before this step and can be served with bbq sauce directly out of the Instant Pot.
