Instant Pot Ribs

Ingredients

• 2 racks - pork back ribs or beef (3-4 lbs total)
• ⅓ cup Dry Rub:
• ¼ cup of Clubhouse Roasted Pepper and Garlic blend
• 1 Tbsp Paprika
• 1 Tbsp Onion Powder
• ½ Tbsp Salt
• 1 cup of dark beer (or Ginger Ale, Root Beer or Dr. Pepper if no-alcohol version preferred)
• ½ cup water
• ½ - ¾ Cup BBQ sauce, brown sugar ( for sweet)
  

Instructions

1. Remove membrane from both racks of Ribs. (Optional)
2. Combine dry rub ingredients into a bowl. Mix well and sprinkle over both sides of ribs. Work the dry rub around and press into the meat.
3. Set up the Instant Pot with the steam rack inside. Add the beer/soda and water.
4. Coil the ribs evenly into the Instant Pot. Try to space them out to cook evenly.
5. Cover and seal. Pressure Cook using “Meat/Stew” or custom setting for 25 minutes. When cooking finishes, turn the pot off and allow to sit.  After 5 minutes, release remaining pressure by opening the seal. Open Instant Pot.
6. Preheat your oven to broil.
7. Line a large cookie sheet with either parchment paper or aluminum foil. Carefully transfer ribs from Instant Pot to cookie sheet - they will want to fall apart.
8. Coat both sides of ribs with BBQ sauce. Place on middle rack of your oven.
9. Watch carefully - turn ribs over when the sauce begins to brown/carmelize - approximately 5 minutes. Broil the other side till it browns as well.
10. Remove and cool for 5 minutes. 
11. Add more sauce if you like them messy. Cut into smaller rack sections and serve!

For extra flavor you can make a brown sugar paste !
